Methods for determining environmental parameter data of a real object in an image
Example systems and methods for virtual visualization of a three-dimensional (3D) model of an object in a two-dimensional (2D) environment. The method may include capturing the 2D environment and adding scale and perspective to the 2D environment. Further, a user may select intersection points on a ground plane of the 2D environment to form walls, thereby converting the 2D environment into a 3D space. The user may further add 3D models of objects on the wall plane such that the objects may remain flush with the wall plane.
