Methods, devices, and computer program products for improved 3d mesh texturing

A system for processing images, the system comprising:

• a processor;
• and
• a memory coupled to the processor and storing computer readable program code that when executed by the processor causes the processor to perform operations comprising:
• extracting a plurality of high frequency image components and a plurality of low frequency image components from a plurality of two-dimensional (2D) images of a three-dimensional (3D) object captured at respective points of perspective of the 3D object;
• generating a low frequency texture atlas from the plurality of low frequency image components;
• generating a high frequency texture atlas from the plurality of high frequency image components by performing a texturing operation comprising seam leveling on a subset of the plurality of high frequency image components;
• and
• generating a texture atlas by merging the low frequency texture atlas with the high frequency texture atlas.
