A 2D view point representation of a location point is derived based on the sensor model representation. From this information, a data representation can be determined. The 2D view point representation can be used to determine a second 2D view point representation. Other techniques include using sensor model representations of location points associated with dynamic objects in a 3D scene. These sensor model representations are generated using sensor systems having perspectives external to the location points and are used to determine a 3D model associated with a dynamic object. Data or graphical representations may be determined based on the 3D model. A system for obtaining information based on perspectives of a 3D scene includes a data manager and a renderer. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A computer-implemented method for generating information based on perspectives of a three-dimensional scene comprising: obtaining a first two-dimensional view point representation of a first location point in the three-dimensional scene based on a sensor model representation, wherein the sensor model representation is generated using a sensor system having a perspective external to the first location point;
