Methods and systems for representing a pre-modeled object within virtual reality data

A method comprising:

• accessing, by a virtual reality provider system, a first image dataset representative of a first captured image depicting a real-world scene from a first vantage point at a particular time and a second image dataset representative of a second captured image depicting the real-world scene from a second vantage point distinct from the first vantage point at the particular time;
• recognizing, by the virtual reality provider system based on the first and second image datasets, a pre-modeled object within both the first and second captured images;
• determining, by the virtual reality provider system, a first confidence metric representative of an objective degree to which the virtual reality provider system accurately recognizes the pre-modeled object within the first captured image and a second confidence metric representative of an objective degree to which the virtual reality provider system accurately recognizes the pre-modeled object within the second captured image;
• determining, by the virtual reality provider system, that the second confidence metric is greater than the first confidence metric;
• generating, by the virtual reality provider system based on the first and second image datasets, a third image dataset representative of a rendered image that includes a depiction of the pre-modeled object within the real-world scene at the particular time from a third vantage point distinct from the first and second vantage points, the generating comprising blending, based on the determining that the second confidence metric is greater than the first confidence metric, color data included within the first and second image datasets in accordance with a weighted color blending technique in which the second image dataset is accorded a greater weight than the first image dataset for the depiction of the pre-modeled object within the real-world scene;
• and
• providing, by the virtual reality provider system over a network to a media player device, virtual reality data including the third image dataset generated by way of the blending of the color data in accordance with the weighted color blending technique in which the second image dataset is accorded the greater weight than the first image dataset for the depiction of the pre-modeled object within the real-world scene.

A system comprising:

• at least one physical computing device that
• accesses a first image dataset representative of a first captured image depicting a real-world scene from a first vantage point at a particular time and a second image dataset representative of a second captured image depicting the real-world scene from a second vantage point distinct from the first vantage point at the particular time;
• recognizes, based on the first and second image datasets, a pre-modeled object within both the first and second captured images;
• determines a first confidence metric representative of an objective degree to which the at least one physical computing device accurately recognizes the pre-modeled object within the first captured image and a second confidence metric representative of an objective degree to which the at least one physical computing device accurately recognizes the pre-modeled object within the second captured image;
• determines that the second confidence metric is greater than the first confidence metric;
• and
• generates, based on the first and second image datasets, a third image dataset representative of a rendered image that includes a depiction of the pre-modeled object within the real-world scene at the particular time from a third vantage point distinct from the first and second vantage points,
• wherein the at least one physical computing device generates the third image dataset by prioritizing, based on the determination that the second confidence metric is greater than the first confidence metric, the second image dataset over the first image dataset for the depiction of the pre-modeled object within the real-world scene.
