3D object capture and object reconstruction using edge cloud computing resources

A computerized method of three-dimensional (3D) object capture and object reconstruction using edge cloud computing resources, the method comprising:

• capturing, by a sensor device coupled to a mobile computing device, (i) one or more depth maps of a physical object in a scene, the depth maps including related pose information of the physical object, and (ii) one or more color images of the physical object in the scene;
• receiving, by an edge cloud computing device coupled to the mobile computing device via a 5G network connection, the one or more depth maps and the one or more color images from the mobile computing device;
• generating, by the edge cloud computing device, a new 3D model of the physical object in the scene based on the received one or more depth maps and one or more color images, when a 3D model of the physical object has not yet been generated;
• updating, by the edge cloud computing device, an existing 3D model of the physical object in the scene based on the received one or more depth maps and one or more color images, when a 3D model of the physical object has previously been generated, including tracking the physical object in the scene based upon the pose information received from the mobile computing device;
• and
• transmitting, by the edge cloud computing device, the new 3D model or the updated 3D model to the mobile computing device.
