Abstract
A system, apparatus, method, computer program product, and computer readable storage medium provide the ability to reconstruct a surface mesh. Photo image data is obtained from a set of overlapping photographic images. Scan data is obtained from a scanner. A point cloud is generated from a combination of the photo image data and the scan data. An initial rough mesh is estimated from the point cloud data. The initial rough mesh is iteratively refined into a refined mesh.
Claims14
A computer-implemented method for reconstructing a surface mesh, comprising:
- obtaining photo image data from a set of overlapping photographic images;
- obtaining scan data from a scanner;
- generating a point cloud from a combination of the overlapping photo image data and the scan data;
- estimating an initial rough mesh from the point cloud data;
- and
- refining the initial rough mesh into a refined mesh.
A non-transitory computer readable storage medium encoded with computer program instructions which when accessed by a computer cause the computer to load the program instructions to a memory therein creating a special purpose data structure causing the computer to operate as a specially programmed computer, executing a method of reconstructing a surface mesh, comprising:
- obtaining, in the specially programmed computer, photo image data from a set of overlapping photographic images;
- obtaining, in the specially programmed computer, scan data from a scanner;
- generating, in the specially programmed computer, a point cloud from a combination of the overlapping photo image data and the scan data;
- estimating, in the specially programmed computer, an initial rough mesh from the point cloud data;
- and
- refining, in the specially programmed computer, the initial rough mesh into a refined mesh.
