Patent Images

1. A method of capturing images of an object from which to construct a three-dimensional model of the object, the method comprising:

  • using an image capture device, capturing a plurality of images of the object in a physical environment from a plurality of vantage points;

    identifying points in the plurality of images that are consistently located across all images as background points;

    filtering points in the plurality of images to remove background points from use in construction of the three-dimensional model of the object;

    using at least one sensor associated with the image capture device, detecting information about one or more of;

    motion or pose of the image capture device;

    selecting individual ones of the captured plurality of images on the basis of the detected information; and

    sending the selected individual ones of the captured plurality of images to a process for constructing the three-dimensional model of the object.
