Patent Images
1. A method comprising:
- detecting, by a processor, a shadow in a three-dimensional photo mesh;
removing, by the processor, the shadow from the three-dimensional photo mesh to form a modified photo mesh having a shadow-free texture;
simulating, by the processor, a real-time condition in the modified photo mesh; and
rendering, by the processor, an image that shows an effect of the real-time condition.

Abstract
Methods for rendering three-dimensional photo meshes having dynamic content include: (a) detecting a shadow in a three-dimensional photo mesh; (b) removing the shadow from the three-dimensional photo mesh to form a modified photo mesh having a shadow-free texture; (c) simulating a real-time condition in the modified photo mesh; and (d) rendering an image that shows an effect of the real-time condition. Systems for rendering three-dimensional photo meshes having dynamic content are described.

14. An apparatus comprising:
-
at least one processor; and at least one memory including computer program code for one or more programs, the at least one memory and the computer program code configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the apparatus to perform at least the following; detect a shadow in a three-dimensional photo mesh; remove the shadow from the three-dimensional photo mesh to form a modified photo mesh having a shadow-free texture; simulate a real-time condition in the modified photo mesh; and render an image that shows an effect of the real-time condition. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18)
