Abstract
Methods and systems for capturing a three dimensional image are described. An image capture process is performed while moving a lens to capture image data across a range of focal depths, and a three dimensional image reconstruction process generates a three dimensional image based on the image data. A two-dimensional image is also rendered including focused image data from across the range of focal depths. The two dimensional image and the three dimensional image are fused to generate a focused three dimensional model.
