  • Patent number: 10950043
    Abstract: Images of various views of objects can be captured. An object mesh structure can be created based at least in part on the object images. The object mesh structure represents the three-dimensional shape of the object. Alpha masks indicating which pixels are associated with the object can be used to refine the object mesh structure. A request can be made to view the object from an arbitrary viewpoint which differs from the viewpoints associated with the captured images. A subset of the captured images can be used to create a synthetic image. Different weights can be assigned to the captured image to render a synthetic image that represents the view from the arbitrary viewpoint selected. The input images for the synthetic image can be prefetched, or loaded into memory before the arbitrary view is requested. The images can also be cached for future use or to avoid reloading them for another synthetic image.
