Claim One:
1. A method, comprising: obtaining, by a system comprising a processor, a plurality of sets of three-dimensional data respectively comprising three-dimensional feature information of points in a three-dimensional coordinate space, and wherein the plurality of sets are respectively associated with different capture positions relative to the three-dimensional coordinate space of a set of capture positions; and determining, by the system prior to completion of capture of a last set of three-dimensional data of the plurality of sets of three-dimensional data, at least one first alignment between at least two sets from the plurality of sets of three-dimensional data based on selection of at least one spatial transformation to apply to at least one set of the plurality of sets of three-dimensional data according to an alignment criterion; in response to completion of the capture of the last set of three-dimensional data, determining. by the system, a second alignment between at least one set from the plurality of sets of three-dimensional data and the last set of three-dimensional data based on selection of at least one additional spatial transformation to apply to at least one set of the plurality of sets of three-dimensional data and the last set of three-dimensional data according to the alignment criterion.
