METHODS AND APPARATUSES FOR PRINTING THREE DIMENSIONAL IMAGES
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method of printing a three-dimensional (3D) object in a 3D printer, the method comprising:
- causing a selection of a point in an object of interest in an image;
automatically delineating the object of interest in the image;
selecting a wire-frame 3D model of the object of interest, wherein the wire-frame 3D model includes shape information of the object of interest;
mapping information from a portion of image representing said delineated object with the selected wire-frame 3D model; and
transmitting the mapped information to a 3D printer to be printed.

Abstract
Systems and methods for printing a 3D object on a three-dimensional (3D) printer are described. The methods semi-automatically or automatically delineate an item in an image, receive a 3D model of the item, matches said item to said 3D model, and send the matched 3D model to a 3D printer.

11. A system for printing three dimensional images comprising:
-
an input information processor configured to receive a plurality of video frames and information relating to a selection of a point in an object of interest in said plurality of video frames; an object model processor configured to receive a wire-frame 3D model of the object of interest, wherein the wire-frame 3D model includes shape information of the object of interest; an object abstraction processor configured to automatically delineate the object of interest; and an object formation processor configured to map information from a portion of image representing said delineated object with the selected wire-frame 3D model and configured to transmit the mapped information to the 3D printer to be printed. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
