Abstract
Techniques are described for automated analysis and use of images acquired of an object and of associated image acquisition metadata, such as for manmade largescale objects at fixed locations in outdoor environments, and to automatically generate a 3D computer model of the object (e.g., the 3D shape of the object exterior's surface) from visual data in the acquired images and from image acquisition device motion data during the image acquisition, to use the computer model to automatically determine measurements for object attribute(s), and to display or otherwise provide information about the generated computer model and/or determined object attributes. The image acquisition metadata may include motion data from IMU (inertial measurement unit) sensors on the image acquisition device, and include additional related data that is determined based at least in part on that motion data (e.g., acquisition pose data for particular acquired images, 3D positions on object exterior, etc.).
