  • Methods and systems for capturing and moving 3D models and true-scale metadata of real world objects
    Patent number: 9443353
    Abstract: In some embodiments, methods and systems are provided for assisting a user in visualizing how a modified real-world setting would appear. An imaging device may capture a plurality of images of one or more objects or settings. A three-dimensional model of each object or setting may be created based on the images. These models may then be used to create a realistic image of a modified setting. For example, an image may display a setting (e.g., a living room) with an additional object (e.g., a couch) in the setting. The image may be realistic, in that it may accurately represent dimensions of the object relative to dimensions in the setting. Because three-dimensional models were created for both the setting and object, a user may be able to manipulate the image to, e.g., re-position and/or re-orient the object within the setting and view the setting from different perspectives.
