Claim 2:
3. The method of claim 1, wherein the generating the visual hull further comprises:
simplifying each of the plurality of first silhouettes of the 3D model through at least one of a 2D simplification or a shape-size filtering process;
extracting one or more hollow loops from a respective one of the plurality of first silhouettes;
generating one or more connected loops for the respective one of the plurality of first silhouettes by subtracting the one or more hollow loops from a 2D bounding box of the respective one of the plurality of first silhouettes; and
