Claim 15:
16. A computer program product comprising a non-transitory memory device having computer executable instructions stored thereon, the computer executable instructions when executed by one or more processors perform a method for shape dependent model identification in point clouds, the method comprising:
capturing, by a scanner device, a 3D point cloud corresponding to a representation of an object with a scanning timestamp;
receiving, by a computer, a sensor data, a time of capture of the sensor data comprising a timestamp being substantially the same time as that of the scanning timestamp of the 3D point cloud, the sensor data indicative of a position of a movable part of the object at the time of capture, the sensor data received from a sensor coupled to the object;
computing, by the computer, an adjusted shape of the object from a baseline shape of the object by using the sensor data having the timestamp with substantially the same time as that of the scanning timestamp of the 3D point cloud; and
searching for and identifying, by an object recognition module, the object in the 3D point cloud having the scanning timestamp with substantially the same time as that of the sensor data based on the adjusted shape.
