Claim:
1. A method comprising: receiving, by a computing device and from a scanning device, a plurality of color 2D images; analyzing the plurality of color 2D images for similarities to identify 2D images representing points-of-view of an object in a physical environment; obtaining a point cloud that describes a third dimension of the object; generating, by the computing device, a 3D mesh model of the object based at least in part on the identified 2D images and the point cloud that describes the third dimension of the object, the 3D mesh model including surfaces that are scaled based at least in part on surfaces of the object; utilizing a value of information (VOI) analysis to identify one or more dimensional reduction settings; analyzing the 3D mesh model based at least in part on the one or more dimensional reduction settings to identify another object that is represented in the 3D mesh model; and exporting the 3D mesh model.
