A technique for converging upon a computer-based model of a real world or synthetic scene. The computer model makes use of abstraction-based data objects as well as image-based data objects. A correlation mesh provides links between related image-based and abstraction-based objects. An initial step in a process analyzes an input image stream and user inputs to derive initial image-based objects and abstraction-based objects for the scene model. Subsequent steps in the process allow user inputs to refine the image-based objects, abstraction-based objects and/or the correlation mesh. As a result, refinements to the image-based object model of the scene can improve the abstraction-based model of the scene, and refinements to the abstraction-based object model can improve the image-based model.
A method for developing a scene model from a visual image sequence containing a sequence of visual image frames, the visual image sequence including a visual representation of one or more visual objects, the method comprising the steps of:
