For each image, a computing device labels each of at least a plurality of pixels in the image, tracks at least one region of the labeled image to determine an estimate of a current pose of at least one object, validates the estimate of the current pose of the at least one object, selects the labeled image as a keyframe based upon validation of the estimate of the current pose, and updates a volumetric model comprising the at least one object using the keyframe. The computing device generates a final 3D model of the at least one object based upon the updated volumetric model.

Abstract: Disclosed are surface retarder composition and method for etching cementitious materials which achieve a desirable light “acid etch” look without using muriatic (hydrochloric) acid or sand blasting, removing the human health and environmental concerns. Formulations in accordance with embodiments disclosed herein are easier to remove from formwork or molds after demolding than conventional retarder paints. Surface retarders prevent the hydration of cement particles, which allows the uncured layer of paste next to the form to be removed such as by washing with water or other fluids, or by brushing, revealing aggregates. Also disclosed are molded cement and concrete materials or articles exhibiting such light etch.

Abstract: Described are methods and systems for combining sparse two-dimensional (2D) and dense three-dimensional (3D) tracking of objects. A 3D sensor coupled to a computing device captures 3D scans of a physical object, including related pose information, and one or more color images corresponding to each 3D scan. For each 3D scan: the computing device establishes initial sparse 2D correspondences between a current loose frame and one or more of: a last tracked loose frame or a current keyframe. The computing device determines an approximate pose based upon the initial sparse 2D correspondences. The computing device establishes initial dense 3D correspondences between the current loose frame and an anchor frame, and combines the initial sparse 2D correspondences and the initial dense 3D correspondences to generate an estimated pose of the object in the scene.

Abstract: Described are methods and systems for enhancing depth sensor-based 3D geometry reconstruction with photogrammetry. A 3D sensor captures scans of a physical object, including related pose information and HD images corresponding to each scan. For each scan, a computing device generates an initial 3D model of the physical object, the initial model having missing sections. The computing device detects the missing sections in a 3D point cloud associated with the initial model and projects the missing sections in the point cloud to a corresponding HD image. The computing device generates image segments of the corresponding HD image that match the missing sections in the point cloud, generates a point cloud structure for each of the image segments of the corresponding HD image, and merges the initial model and the generated point cloud structures to generate a final 3D model with the missing sections filled in.

Abstract: Described herein are methods and systems for texturing a three-dimensional (3D) model using photogrammetry. A sensor captures scans of a physical object, including related pose information, and color images corresponding to each scan. A computing device generates a 3D mesh of the physical object. The computing device preprocesses the color images to remove blurry images and detect textured regions of the object in each non-blurry image. The computing device optimizes the pose information for each color image by generating associations between the color images and vertices in the 3D mesh and classifying the vertices as textured or non-textured. The computing device generates texture coordinates for the 3D mesh by segmenting the mesh, parameterizing the segments, and packing the parameterized segments into a texture atlas. The computing device paint the texture atlas using the color images that have optimized pose information to generate a model having texture coordinates for each vertex.
