Real-time mobile capture and application of photographic images as textures in three-dimensional models

A non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing one or more programs for execution by one or more processors of an electronic device with a camera, the one or more programs including instructions for:

• obtaining with the camera a live-video of real-world objects as the portable electronic device moves;
• obtaining a three-dimensional model including at least one virtual object;
• concurrently displaying at least a portion of the live-video in real-time and a representation of the three-dimensional model, wherein the representation of the three-dimensional model at least partially overlays the display of the portion of the live-video;
• and
• while concurrently displaying at least the portion of the live-video in real-time and the representation of the three-dimensional model:
• aligning the representation of one or more virtual objects in the three-dimensional model with one or more real-world objects in the live-video in real-time;
• storing an image of the one or more real-world objects captured by the camera in real-time as texture data for the one or more virtual objects in the three-dimensional model;
• concurrently displaying an overhead view of the three-dimensional model and displaying as part of the overhead view a depiction of a field of view of the camera;
• and
• subsequent to obtaining an image of objects with the camera:
• determining a recommended location of the camera for obtaining the texture data;
• and
• visually indicating in the overhead view the recommended location of the camera for obtaining the texture data.

An electronic device, comprising:

• a camera;
• one or more processors;
• and
• memory storing one or more programs, which, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the electronic device to perform the operations of:
• obtaining with the camera a live-video of real-world objects as the portable electronic device moves;
• obtaining a three-dimensional model including at least one virtual object;
• concurrently displaying at least a portion of the live-video in real-time and a representation of the three-dimensional model, wherein the representation of the three-dimensional model at least partially overlays the display of the portion of the live-video;
• and
• while concurrently displaying at least the portion of the live-video in real-time and the representation of the three-dimensional model:
• aligning the representation of one or more virtual objects in the three-dimensional model with one or more real-world objects in the live-video in real-time;
• storing an image of the one or more real-world objects captured by the camera in real-time as texture data for the one or more virtual objects in the three-dimensional model;
• concurrently displaying an overhead view of the three-dimensional model and displaying as part of the overhead view a depiction of a field of view of the camera;
• and
• subsequent to obtaining an image of objects with the camera:
• determining a recommended location of the camera for obtaining the texture data;
• and
• visually indicating in the overhead view the recommended location of the camera for obtaining the texture data.
