METHODS AND APPARATUS TO GENERATE PHOTO-REALISTIC THREE-DIMENSIONAL MODELS OF A PHOTOGRAPHED ENVIRONMENT

Abstract:

Methods and apparatus to generate photo-realistic three-dimensional models of a photographed environment are disclosed. An apparatus includes an object position calculator to determine a three-dimensional (3D) position of an object detected within a first image of an environment and within a second image of the environment. The apparatus further includes a 3D model generator to generate a 3D model of the environment based on the first image and the second image. The apparatus also includes a model integrity analyzer to detect a difference between the 3D position of the object and the 3D model. The 3D model generator automatically modifies the 3D model based on the difference in response to the difference satisfying a confidence threshold.
