TEXTURE SENSING
First Claim
1. A device for modeling a texture associated with a surface, comprising:
- a plurality of image sensors; and
a processor adapted to execute computer implemented instructions to;
capture a set of images of the surface with one or more of the plurality of image sensors;
analyze the set of captured images to determine one or more surface variables; and
convert the analyzed set of captured images into a surface texture type based on the one or more surface variables.

Abstract
A device for modeling a texture is described. An example device may include a plurality of image sensors, a data storage, and a processor operatively associated with the data storage and adapted to execute computer implemented instructions to capture a set of images of a surface with one or more of the plurality of image sensors, analyze the set of captured images to determine one or more surface variables, and convert the analyzed set of captured images into a surface texture type based on the one or more surface variables. A method for modeling a surface texture using a hand-held device is also described.
