Title: Systems and methods for imaging three-dimensional objects
Inventor: LEONARDO RUBIO NAVARRO
IPC: G06T17/00
Filed: 2015-11-03
Abstract: An apparatus for computing a 3D model of an object comprises successively illuminating the object from at least three illumination directions and capturing 101 at least three images of the object with one or more sensors (cameras), in which different images represent the object when illuminated from one of the illumination directions. Reference features corresponding to object landmarks are identified 102 in one of the images. Corresponding features are identified 103 in at least some of the other captured images. The positions of the reference features in the images are used to estimate 104 image viewpoints from which the motion of the object relative to the cameras may be determined. The estimated motion is used to register the images in a common coordinate system, and thereby correct for the relative motion of the object and imaging system between different times at which the images were captured. The registered images are used to generate 105 a 3D model of the object. The reference features are selected such that they are likely to be landmarks on the object, rather than on a background behind the object.
