Abstract: Approaches described and suggested herein relate to generating an enhanced point cloud representation of an objection and generating a surface mesh from the enhanced point cloud. The surface mesh can be used to render three-dimensional representations of objects on personal devices such as smartphones and personal computers, for example. Generating an enhanced point cloud of an object includes capturing a plurality of images of the object from a plurality of viewpoints about the object, generating an initial point cloud representation of the object from the plurality of images, generating a preliminary surface mesh from the point cloud using a Delauney-based meshing algorithm, and sampling points from the preliminary surface mesh. The sampled points are then added to the point cloud to form the enhanced point cloud. A final surface mesh can then be generated from the enhanced point cloud using a Poisson-based meshing algorithm.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a computing system may determine, for a pixel of a current subframe of a series of subframes, a compensated target pixel value based on a difference between (1) an aggregated target pixel value of the pixel in the current subframe and previous subframes of the series of subframes and (2) an aggregated actual pixel value of displayed pixel values of the pixel in the previous subframes of the series of subframes. The compensated target pixel value may compensate a quantization error for the pixel displayed in the previously subframes of the series of subframes. The system may access a mask value, corresponding to a pixel position of the pixel, from a dithering mask having a spatial stacking property. The system may determine a quantized pixel value for the pixel of the current subframe by quantizing the compensated target pixel value based on the mask value.
