Disclosed are techniques for enhancing two-dimensional (2D) image capture of subjects (e.g., a physical structure, such as a residential building) to maximize the feature correspondences available for three-dimensional (3D) model reconstruction. More specifically, disclosed is a computer-vision network configured to provide viewfinder interfaces and analyses to guide the improved capture of an intended subject for specified purposes. Additionally, the computer-vision network can be configured to generate a metric representing a quality of feature correspondences between images of a complete set of images used for reconstructing a 3D model of a physical structure. The computer-vision network can also be configured to generate feedback at or before image capture time to guide improvements to the quality of feature correspondences between a pair of images.

Techniques for enhanced image capture using a computer-vision network

Disclosed are techniques for generating a photorealistic image by augmenting or compositing at least a portion of a physical structure (e.g., a house) depicted in a two-dimensional (2D) image with synthetic image data. Additionally, disclosed are techniques for augmenting the depicted physical structure and applying a scene effect to the synthetic image data to create a photorealistic effect.

Systems and methods for selective image compositing

Disclosed are techniques for generating a photorealistic image by augmenting or compositing at least a portion of a physical structure (e.g., a house) depicted in a two-dimensional (2D) image with synthetic image data. Additionally, disclosed are techniques for augmenting the depicted physical structure using a minimum amount of three-dimensional (3D) geometric data and applying a scene effect to the synthetic image data to create a photorealistic effect.
