SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR GENERATING A 3-D MODEL OF A USER USING A REAR-FACING CAMERA
A computer-implemented method for generating a three-dimensional (3-D) model of a user. A plurality of images of a user are captured via a rear-facing camera on a mobile device. A 3-D model of the user is generated using the plurality of images of the user captured using the rear-facing camera and 3-D data derived from processing a previous plurality of images of the user prior to capturing the plurality of images. A point of interest in at least one of the plurality of images captured via the rear-facing camera may be identified and the identified point of interest in at least one of the plurality of images may be correlated with one or more vertices from the 3-D data.
