The Patent Description & Claims data below is from USPTO Patent Application 20070141534, Image-based orthodontic treatment viewing system.


1. A method for visualizing changes in a three dimensional (3D) model, comprising: a. receiving an initial 3D model for the patient; b. determining a target 3D model; and c. generating one or more intermediate 3D models by morphing one or more of the 3D models.

2. The method of claim 1, comprising extracting environment information from the model.

3. The method of claim 1, comprising rendering one or more images of the model.

4. The method of claim 1, wherein the model is represented using one of: polyhedrons and voxels.

5. The method of claim 1, wherein the model is a patient model

6. The method of claim 5, comprising generating a virtual treatment for the patient.

7. The method of claim 5, comprising generating a post-treatment 3D model.

8. The method of claim 5, comprising rendering an image of the model.

9. The method of claim 1, comprising geometry subdividing and tessellating the model.

10. The method of claim 1, comprising generating an inside model of the 3D model.

11. A visualization system, comprising: a. means for receiving an initial three dimensional (3D) model for the patient; b. means for determining a target 3D model; and c. means for generating one or more intermediate 3D models by morphing one or more of the 3D models.

12. The system of claim 11, comprising means for extracting environment information from the model.

13. The system of claim 1, comprising means for rendering one or more images of the model.

14. The system of claim 11, wherein the model is represented using one of: polyhedrons and voxels.

15. The system of claim 11, wherein the model is a patient model

16. The system of claim 15, comprising means for generating a virtual treatment for the patient.

17. The system of claim 15, comprising means for generating a post-treatment 3D model.

18. The system of claim 15, comprising means for rendering an image of the model.

19. The system of claim 11, comprising means for geometry subdividing and tessellating the model.

20. The system of claim 11, comprising means for generating an inside model of the 3D model.
