Abstract:
Techniques described herein are directed to a system and methods for generating 3D models of an object which accurately depict reflective properties of the object. To do this, an image of an object is captured and a rendered image of the object is generated from the image. The system then generates a lighting effect which approximates an effect of the actual light source on the appearance of the object when the image was captured. A number of rendered images of the object are generated using the lighting effect, each having different visual material property values. Once the rendered images have been generated, the system may compare the generated rendered images to the actual image in order to identify the rendered image which best approximates the actual image. The visual material property values associated with the best approximation are then assigned to the object.

Claim (Index 11):
A 3D imaging system comprising:\n one or more camera devices; a processor; and a memory including instructions that, when executed with the processor, cause the system to, at least: receive a captured image of an object using specific lighting conditions; identify a section of the object based on the captured image; for at least the first section of the object, perform operations that comprise:\n generate, based on the specific lighting conditions, a collection of rendered images, each of the rendered images associated with a different combination of material property values for at least X different material properties where X is an integer greater than 1, the collection of rendered images being generated such that for each of X different material properties:\n a subset of the rendered images in the collection of rendered images is rendered such that the material property corresponding to that subset remains constant in value whereas combinations of values for the X- 1  other different material properties vary among the rendered images in the that subset; \n \n compare each of the rendered images of the collection of rendered images to the captured image; \n calculate an image error for each rendered image based on the comparison between each rendered image and the captured image; and \n assign to the first section a combination of material property values associated with one of the rendered images based upon the image error.
