Abstract
Described herein are a system and methods for generating 3D models using imaging data obtained from an array of camera devices. In embodiments, the system may determine a depth or range between an object and the array of camera device. Based on this depth information, the system may automatically identify appropriate framing information for that array of camera devices based on operational constraints. One or more properties of the camera devices in the array of camera devices may then be adjusted in order to obtain image information in accordance with the identified framing information. The object may then be rotated in accordance with the operational constraints and the process may be repeated until a full set of images has been obtained.
