System for building 3d composite scenes using capture device
A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US12014468B2) discloses a system for building a three-dimensional composite scene. The system includes a three-dimensional capture device that captures multiple three-dimensional images of an object or environment from different positions in a three-dimensional coordinate space. These images, along with metadata, are processed by a remote processor to align and generate a three-dimensional representation of the object or environment. An interface device displays the representation, featuring a live video feed of the capture process and a secondary display area indicating where the capture device should be aimed for optimal alignment of data objects. The system aims to streamline the process of creating three-dimensional scenes by utilizing metadata and live feedback during the capture process.
Furthermore, the patent describes a method and system for real-time alignment of three-dimensional data objects. The system involves a remote processing system that aligns the captured images based on metadata, sending the representation to a remote display for rendering. In case of alignment failure, the interface device generates a prompt requesting user input to identify areas for realignment. This iterative process ensures accurate alignment of three-dimensional data objects, enhancing the efficiency and accuracy of creating composite scenes. The system's ability to identify holes in the representation and prompt for user input highlights its user-friendly and interactive nature, making it a valuable tool for creating detailed and precise three-dimensional composite scenes.
