Abstract
An imaging tool creates a first image of a scene and a second image of the scene taken after the first image. An RF tag reader receives data from an RF tag associated with the scene. A 3D representation of a change in the scene is created based on the first image, the second image, and the data from the RF tag.
Claims20
A method of constructing a 3D representation, the method comprising:
- obtaining a first image, wherein the first image includes at least a portion of a scene;
- obtaining a second image, wherein:
- the second image includes the portion of the scene;
- and
- the second image is generated later in time compared to the first image;
- receiving data from a radio frequency (RF) tag associated with the scene;
- and
- constructing the 3D representation of a change in the scene using the first image, the second image, and the data from the RF tag.
5 more elements
A system for constructing a 3D representation, the system comprising:
- an imaging tool operable to:
- acquire a first image, wherein the first image includes at least a portion of a scene;
- and
- acquire a second image, wherein:
- the second image includes the portion of the scene;
- and
- the second image is generated later in time compared to the first image;
- a radio frequency (RF) tag reader operable to extract data from an RF tag associated with the scene;
- and
- a processor operable to construct a 3D representation of a change in the scene using the first image, the second image, and the data from the RF tag.
7 more elements
A memory device having instructions that when executed cause one or more processors to:
- acquire a first image of at least a portion of a scene;
- acquire a second image, wherein:
- the second image includes the portion of the scene;
- and
- the second image is generated later in time compared to the first image;
- receive data from a radio frequency (RF) tag associated with the scene;
- and
- construct a 3D representation of a change in the scene using the first image, the second image, and the data from the RF tag.
