1. An adaptive three-dimensional (3D) image modelling system comprising:
- a 3D computer modelling function having an input that receives 3D data and generates a 3D computer model from the received 3D data;
wherein the adaptive three-dimensional (3D) image modelling system is characterised by;
a two-dimensional (2D) input providing 2D data such that the 3D computer modelling function updates the 3D model using the 2D data.

Abstract
A system which resolves accuracy problems with 3D modeling techniques by using a 3D computer model that is updated using views provided by, say, a camera unit or camera system. The 2D images provided by matching the perspective view of an image within the model to that of an image of the environment. The 3D computer model can therefore be updated remotely, using 2D data.
