Abstract

An exemplary volumetric frame capture controller ('controller') transmits first and second commands to first and second three-dimensional ('3D') capture devices disposed, respectively, at first and second positions with respect to a real-world scene. The first and second commands are to capture, respectively, first and second 3D sub-frames representative of the real-world scene from first and second vantage points associated with the first and second positions. Based on the first and second commands, the controller receives the first and second 3D sub-frames and, in response, determines that a first timestamp associated with a capture of the first 3D sub-frame is less than a predefined time threshold from a second timestamp associated with a capture of the second 3D sub-frame. In response to this determination, the controller provides the first and second 3D sub-frames for use in forming a volumetric frame of the real-world scene. Corresponding methods and systems are also disclosed.
