A method is disclosed for generating a three-dimensional (3D) model of a target object. The method includes obtaining one or more image capture settings and capturing, using the one or more image capture settings, a plurality of two-dimensional (2D) images each including at least a portion of a coded target and at least a portion of the target object. The method further includes transmitting the plurality of 2D images to a model generation server and generating, by the model generation server based on the plurality of 2D images, the 3D model of the target object and one or more model characteristics of the 3D model.

Three-dimensional modeling scanner

Methods disclosed permit the identification of frame buffer pixels for trapping. In some embodiments, flags associated with pixels in the frame buffer may be used to provide an indication of pixels for trapping. A first bit in a flag associated with a pixel may be set when the pixel is painted. In some embodiments, the method discloses a process for setting the value of a second bit in the flag to determine if the pixel associated with the flag lies on an object boundary. The pixel is identified as a candidate for trapping based on the value of the at least one flag.

Method for optimizing the search for trapping regions

Methods consistent with some embodiments presented provide methods for identifying at least one pixel in a raster image buffer for inclusion in a processing space. In some embodiments of methods identifying at least one pixel in a raster image buffer for inclusion in a processing space may include analyzing a tag-field associated with the at least one pixel. The tag-field may identify object types associated with the pixel. In some embodiments, an action directive may be assigned to the pixel based on the value of the tag-field. In some embodiments, the pixel may be included in a processing space based on the action directive.
