Abstract

The present invention relates to a device and method for processing an image for generating a design image based on a reference marker. A method for processing an image for generating a design image based on a reference marker includes receiving, from at least one external device, a computerized tomography (CT) scan image and a plurality of oral scan images related to a person to be treated who has a plurality of reference markers attached to an inside of an oral cavity, generating a registered image by registering the images on the basis of locations of the plurality of reference markers detected from the images, determining, on the basis of the registered image, a teeth profile related to the inside of the oral cavity of the person to be treated, and generating a design image related to the inside of the oral cavity on the basis of the teeth profile.
