Abstract:
1. A method, comprising: receiving, by a computing device, an annotated template of a first three-dimensional (3D) object data model, the annotated template associated with a given category of objects, wherein the annotated template includes one or more annotations to one or more aspects of an object described by the first 3D object data model that indicate information associated with attributes of the one or more aspects of the object; determining, by the computing device, one or more matching correspondences between the first 3D object data model and a second 3D object data model, wherein the second 3D object data model describes a given object in the given category, and wherein each of the one or more matching correspondences comprises an individual correspondence point of the first 3D object data model that corresponds to a respective correspondence point of the second 3D object data model; and based on the one or more matching correspondences between the first 3D object data model and the second 3D object data model, mapping, by the computing device, an annotation of the one or more annotations that is associated with a correspondence point of the first 3D object data model to a matching correspondence point of the second 3D object data model, wherein said mapping comprises mapping a custom call-out to the annotated correspondence point of the second 3D object data model, wherein the custom call-out comprises information to be associated with an aspect of the given object by way of an optional visual graphic when the second 3D object data model is provided for display within a 3D image viewer.
