Abstract
A method of constructing hierarchical representation models of compound 3D physical objects, comprising receiving a plurality of image sets depicting a compound 3D physical object constructed of a static component having a single representation state and dynamic component(s) having multiple representation states, each pair of the image sets corresponds depicts a respective dynamic component in one of its representation states, generating a pair of point cloud structures from each pair of image sets, analyzing the point cloud structures pair to identify common region(s) associated with the static component and region(s) of difference associated with the dynamic component, generating a hierarchical 3D representation model comprising a high level model of the static component generated from the common region(s) with a surface outline of the region(s) of difference associated with multiple lower level models constructed for the representation states of the dynamic component and outputting the hierarchical 3D representation model.
