Classification: CPC G | IPC G

Claim 1:
2. The method of claim 1, wherein accessing the texture map and the 3D mesh comprises:
capturing, using the image sensor of the device, the at least one current image of the real-world object or environment;
determining a three-dimensional (3D) geometry corresponding to the real-world object or environment based on the at least one current image;
processing the at least one current image to extract texture data for respective patches of the real-world object or environment; and
populating at least a portion of a data structure for storing texture data, the data structure mapping the texture data to vertices in the 3D geometry,
the 3D mesh comprising a 3D representation of the respective vertices in the 3D geometry and the texture map being the populated data structure.
