Abstract: The invention is directed to a system and method for representing how a photograph was captured in relation to the field capture, and mapping this onto a shape in a 3D dimensional print. More specifically, a group of images, or single image captured through a lens with field of view distortion, is captured and stored together as a group. The images may be stitched together to form a single image. Once stitched together, a three-dimensional file is created and stored to the system. A server then provides the three-dimensional file to a three-dimensional printer for printing. Once printed, the three-dimensional object is packaged and mailed to the sender.

Abstract: A system and method are provided which generate a three-dimensional model of a subject from continuous capture of images or video on a hand-held portable device, such as the typical consumer “smartphone.” The system may comprise a depth sensor, an integrated digital camera, an inertial measurement unit, and a template-driven data processing pipeline. The pipeline receives and processes depth, color and inertial measurement data to produce a real-time three-dimensional rendering of the subject. The system may also allow for coordination of multiple connected devices such that processing functions may be allocated to different devices. A user may save the rendering in a variety of different formats and transmit it to multiple devices via any conventional means available. The system is thread-safe to prevent crashes. It is also platform-agnostic and may operate on a variety of hardware and software platforms on different types and brands of devices without re-programming.
