Three-dimensional scene building and image alignment system
The patent US12014468B2 describes a system designed for constructing three-dimensional composite scenes using a three-dimensional capture device. This device captures multiple three-dimensional images of an object or environment from various positions within a three-dimensional coordinate space. Each image is accompanied by metadata, which includes critical distance information about the features within the images. A remote processor receives these images and executes instructions to align them based on the associated metadata, ultimately generating a cohesive three-dimensional representation. The system also features an interface device that displays a live video feed of the captured representation and provides guidance on areas that require further data capture to enhance alignment.
Additionally, the system allows for iterative alignment of the images and includes mechanisms for real-time feedback. If alignment fails, the interface generates prompts requesting user input to identify specific areas for realignment. The capture device can wirelessly transmit images to the processor, and the system may include a rotatable stage for improved capture positioning. This innovative approach facilitates the creation of detailed three-dimensional representations, enhancing applications in fields such as virtual reality, gaming, and environmental modeling.
