1. A method for creating a three dimensional, textured model of at least one object from a number of two dimensional images, the method comprising:

  • loading an initial two dimensional image;

    identifying a region of the at least one object in the loaded, two dimensional image;

    storing data concerning the region, including its texture, in a data structure;

    sequentially loading the remaining two-dimensional images; and

    for each of the remaining two dimensional images;

    identifying a relationship between the two dimensional image and at least one other, loaded two dimensional image, identifying a region of the at least one object in the two dimensional image, and storing data concerning the region, including information on its position with respect to other regions, and the texture of the region, in a data structure.
