Abstract:
1. A computer-implemented method comprising: comparing, by a processor, a first representation produced from content captured during a first motion image capture session, wherein the first representation comprises a motion model of an object and an animation mesh of the object, and a second representation produced from content captured during a second motion image capture session, different from the first motion image capture session, wherein the second representation comprises data of each of a plurality of images captured during the second motion image capture session and a representation of the object, and wherein the comparison is between the animation mesh and the data of the plurality of images; determining, using the comparison, a correspondence between a surface feature of the object represented in the animation mesh of the first representation and a respective surface feature of the object in the data of the plurality of images of the second representation; selecting, using the comparison and the correspondence, an image of the plurality of images having data with highest correlation to the animation mesh; determining, using the comparison and the correspondence, an offset that represents a spatial difference between the surface feature of the object represented in the animation mesh of the first representation and the respective surface feature of the object in the data of the selected image; applying the offset to the content of one of the first representation or the second representation; substantially aligning the first and second representations using the correspondence between the surface feature of the object represented in the animation mesh of the first representation and the respective surface feature of the object in the data of the selected image; and combining the aligned representations to produce a revised motion model capable of representing content of the first motion image capture session and the second motion image capture session.
