As we have noted earlier all the values {X, Y, Z} of the tooth or the<br />

view of a side of the tooth must be identified and filtered. For that<br />

reason, a certain number of algorithms, some cabled, will enter into<br />

action in the FOURNIER 19 space or not. We suppress the hardware<br />

digitalisation noises, the speckles noises even more so important that<br />

the ripple of the light interferes with the micro surfaces of the flatness<br />

of the tooth, interference noises between the spatial frequency of the<br />

CCD and the RONCHI 20 weft used and all the system noises. The<br />

filtering techniques are complex and go beyond the framework of this<br />

study. We will simply say that each of the constituting elements of the<br />

acquisition chain of the tooth’s image must be studied with regards to<br />

the whole set and the non respect of this rule can diminish or even<br />

render unusable the caught signal of the tooth’s shape (Fig. 19 to 22).<br />

Then, the skeletal algorithms will come. This passage is necessary for<br />

several reasons:<br />

- the implementation of the comparison process of interferograms<br />

- the reduction of the number of image points addressed to the<br />

software and central unit of shape management (CAM)<br />

- the discretion several teeth in the same image space.<br />

The whole of these “washed” coordinates will be addressed to the<br />

CAM software in a simple language such as the Fortran 77 so that the<br />

tooth can be reconstituted and worked on.<br />

At this stage, we get a part of what we can call today the optical<br />

impression of the tooth. It took a few seconds to the captor to record<br />

the image and to the algorithm to synthesise it into coordinates in a tri<br />

dimensional space. The view capture appears on a control screen for<br />

acceptance or rejection. This view enables the verification of the<br />

quality of the impression and also the work done inside the mouth of<br />

the patient. An over impression<br />
