Generating a three-dimensional model using a portable electronic device recording
First Claim
1. A non-transitory machine readable medium on which are stored instructions, comprising instructions that when executed by a programmable device cause the programmable device to:
- determine a first position and orientation of a programmable device relative to a three-dimensional object;
detect, at a first time, a movement of the programmable device relative to the first position and orientation;
associate the movement with a second image captured by the programmable device at the first time at a second position and orientation relative to the three-dimensional object; and
generate a three-dimensional model of a portion of the three-dimensional object from at least a first image captured by the programmable device at the first position and orientation, the second image captured by the programmable device at the first time, and the movement associated with the second image,wherein generating a three-dimensional model comprises determining a three-dimensional representation of the first position and orientation and the second position and orientation onto which the first image and the second image can be applied.

Abstract
Systems and methods are provided for navigating a three-dimensional model using deterministic movement of an electronic device. An electronic device can load and provide an initial display of a three dimensional model (e.g., of an environment or of an object). As the user moves the electronic device, motion sensing components can detect the device movement and adjust the displayed portion of the three-dimensional model to reflect the movement of the device. By walking with the device in the user'"'"'s real environment, a user can virtually navigate a representation of a three-dimensional environment. In some embodiments, a user can record an object or environment using an electronic device, and tag the recorded images or video with movement information describing the movement of the device during the recording. The recorded information can then be processed with the movement information to generate a three-dimensional model of the recorded environment or object.
