Claim One:
1. A method comprising: receiving from a scanning system three-dimensional (3D) information associated with an object, wherein the 3D information associated with the object has a first resolution and comprises surface geometry information for the object; determining, by one or more processors, a region of interest of the object based at least in part on the surface geometry information for the object, wherein the region of interest comprises a portion of the object having an amount of variation in surface geometry that satisfies a threshold, wherein the surface geometry information for the object comprises a 3D point cloud, and wherein the amount of variation in surface geometry comprises an amount of variation in points of the 3D point cloud; determining instructions for operating the scanning system to determine additional information associated with the region of interest of the object having a second resolution that is higher than the first resolution, wherein the instructions for operating the scanning system include instructions for positioning a scanning component to obtain the additional information from one or more viewpoints; and providing the instructions to the scanning system to determine the additional information associated with the region of interest of the object.
