VISUALIZATION ALIGNMENT FOR THREE-DIMENSIONAL SCANNING
First Claim
1. A method for generating a three-dimensional virtual representation of a physical object via a scanning system, the method comprising:
- performing a first scan of the physical object while the physical object is in a first position;
generating a displayed visualization of the physical object based on the first scan;
receiving an aligning input that causes increased correspondence between the displayed visualization and a second position of the physical object;
performing a second scan of the physical object while the physical object is in the second position; and
generating a three-dimensional virtual representation of the physical object based on the first scan and the second scan.

Abstract
A method for generating a three-dimensional virtual representation includes performing a first scan of the physical object while the physical object has a first position. A displayed visualization of the physical object is generated based on the first scan. Aligning input is received that causes increased correspondence between the displayed visualization and a second position of the physical object. A second scan of the physical object is performed while the object is in the second position. Based on the first scan and the second scan, a three-dimensional virtual representation of the physical object is generated.

20. A computing system, comprising:
-
a scanning system; a logic machine; and a storage machine holding instructions executable by the logic machine to; via the scanning system, perform a first scan of a physical object while the physical object has a first position; generate a displayed visualization of the physical object based on the first scan; present the displayed visualization to a user of the computing system via a display, the displayed visualization superimposed over a dynamically updating image of the physical object; receive an aligning input from the user of the computing system that causes rotation of the displayed visualization toward a second position of the physical object; via the scanning system, perform a second scan of the physical object while the physical object is in the second position; and generate a three-dimensional virtual representation of the physical object based on the first scan and the second scan.
