Methods and systems for generating a volumetric two-dimensional representation of a three-dimensional object

Abstract:

An illustrative image processing system identifies a component of a three-dimensional (3D) object that is to be presented to a user. The image processing system then generates a set of two-dimensional (2D) images depicting the component of the 3D object from a set of vantage points tailored to the component. The image processing system incorporates one or more 2D images of this set of 2D images within a 2D atlas image associated with the 3D object. The image processing system provides the 2D atlas image to a volumetric rendering device configured to render, based on the 2D atlas image, a volumetric representation of the 3D object for presentation to the user. Corresponding methods and systems are also disclosed.
