Abstract: In one embodiment, a method includes determining, using one or more location sensors of a computing device, an approximate location of the computing device, identifying a content object located within a threshold distance of the approximate location, wherein an augmented-reality map associates the content object with a stored model of a real-world object and specifies a location of the content object on or relative to the stored model of the real-world object, obtaining an image from a camera of the device, identifying, in the image, a target real-world object that matches the stored model of the real-world object, determining a content object location based on a location of the target real-world object and the location of the content object on or relative to the model of the real-world object, and displaying the content object at the content object location.

Abstract: A method for virtual, three-dimensional modeling of a subject using a depth-imaging camera operatively coupled to a modeling computer. A brightness image and a coordinate depth image of the subject acquired from each of a plurality of inequivalent vantage points are received from the depth-imaging camera. An angle-dependent reflectance is determined based on the brightness and coordinate depth images acquired from each of the vantage points.

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.

Abstract: A method for operating an image processing device coupled to a color camera and a depth camera is provided. The method includes receiving a color image of a 3-dimensional scene from a color camera, receiving a depth map of the 3-dimensional scene from a depth camera, generating an aligned 3-dimensional face mesh from a plurality of color images received from the color camera indicating movement of a subject's head within the 3-dimensional scene and form the depth map, determining a head region based the depth map, segmenting the head region into a plurality of facial sections based on both the color image, depth map, and the aligned 3-dimensional face mesh, and overlaying the plurality of facial sections on the color image.
