Reconstructing views of real world 3D scenes

Abstract:

Various implementations are disclosed of producing a 3-dimensional model of a scene. Various method, electronic device, or system implementations use RGB-D camera to provide RGB-D video content or periodic aligned RGB images and depth images to localize camera spatial position(s) defined in a three dimensional (3D) coordinate system or reconstruct a 3D virtual representation of a current camera frame in the 3D coordinate system, each in real time.
