Abstract
Described herein are methods and systems for closed-form 3D model generation of non-rigid complex objects from scans with large holes. A computing device receives (i) a partial scan of a non-rigid complex object captured by a sensor coupled to the computing device; (ii) a partial 3D model corresponding to the object, and (iii) a whole 3D model corresponding to the object, wherein the partial 3D scan and the partial 3D model each includes one or more large holes. The device performs a rough match on the partial 3D model and changes the whole 3D model using the rough match to generate a deformed 3D model. The device refines the deformed 3D model using a deformation graph, reshapes the refined deformed 3D model to have greater detail, and adjusts the whole 3D model according to the reshaped 3D model to generate a closed-form 3D model that closes holes in the scan.
