Abstract: Embodiments provide systems, methods, and computer storage media for fitting 3D primitives to a 3D point cloud. In an example embodiment, 3D primitives are fit to a 3D point cloud using a global primitive fitting network that evaluates the entire 3D point cloud and a local primitive fitting network that evaluates local patches of the 3D point cloud.

The global and local primitives are merged into a combined, multi-scale set of fitted primitives, and representative primitive parameters are computed for each fitted primitive.

Abstract: Using the same image sensor to capture both a two-dimensional (2D) image of a three-dimensional (3D) object and 3D depth measurements for the object. A laser point-scans the surface of the object with light spots, which are detected by a pixel array in the image sensor to generate the 3D depth profile of the object using triangulation.

Strong ambient light is rejected by switching the image sensor to a 3D logarithmic mode from a 3D linear mode.
