20110001791 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR GENERATING AND DISPLAYING A THREE-DIMENSIONAL MODEL OF PHYSICAL OBJECTS - A system and method for generating three-dimensional models of physical objects, includes the steps of providing a plurality of two dimensional images of a physical object, wherein the two-dimensional images are captured from a plurality of viewing angles of the physical object; associating each of the two-dimensional images with a viewing zone, wherein: the viewing zone includes a range of viewing angles of the physical object; and at least one of the viewing zones having a minimum of three shared boundaries; and processing the associated two-dimensional images for each of the viewing zones to generate a three-dimensional local model of the physical object for each of the viewing zones. In another implementation, views are rendered from a visualized model. | 01-06-2011 |
