  • Patent number: 11568182
    Abstract: Embodiments described herein provide an apparatus comprising a processor to project and accumulate three-dimensional (3D) point data from a blob onto a plane; construct a histogram of the 3D point data; identify a center of mass of the blob based on histogram data; surround peaks in coordinates for data in the blob with a shape defined by a diameter of the blob based on the center of mass; obtain height data for the 3D point data; and calculate dimensions for a bounding box to surround the blob based on the shape and the height data. Other embodiments may be described and claimed.

  • Patent number: 11551428
    Abstract: Methods and apparatus to generate photo-realistic three-dimensional models of a photographed environment are disclosed. An apparatus includes an object position calculator to determine a three-dimensional (3D) position of an object detected within a first image of an environment and within a second image of the environment. The apparatus further includes a 3D model generator to generate a 3D model of the environment based on the first image and the second image. The apparatus also includes a model integrity analyzer to detect a difference between the 3D position of the object and the 3D model. The 3D model generator automatically modifies the 3D model based on the difference in response to the difference satisfying a confidence threshold.
