CAPTURING AND ALIGNING THREE-DIMENSIONAL SCENES
Systems and methods for building a three-dimensional composite scene are disclosed. Certain embodiments of the systems and methods may include the use of a three-dimensional capture device that captures a plurality of three-dimensional images of an environment. Some embodiments may further include elements concerning aligning and/or mapping the captured images. Various embodiments may further include elements concerning reconstructing the environment from which the images were captured. The methods disclosed herein may be performed by a program embodied on a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium when executed the program is executed a processor.
1 . A system for building a three-dimensional composite scene, the system comprising:
a three-dimensional capture device for capturing a plurality of three-dimensional images of an environment;
a processor for executing instructions stored in memory, wherein execution of the instructions by the processor aligns the plurality of three-dimensional images in a common space to obtain mapping data regarding the environment; and
a rendering device for displaying a three-dimensional construction of the environment based on the mapping data.
