Abstract
The present disclosure provides image generation systems and methods. The image generation method includes capturing a first 2D image corresponding to a first perspective of a 3D object, and associating the first 2D image with a set of 3D scanning data, the set of 3D scanning data comprising 3D data points corresponding to the first perspective of the 3D object. The method includes obtaining new 3D data points to include in the set of 3D scanning data from a subsequent perspective of the 3D object, the new 3D data points being non-overlapping with 3D data points already in the set of 3D scanning data. The method further includes, responsive to determining that a number of the new 3D data points exceeds a predetermined threshold, automatically capturing a subsequent 2D image corresponding to the subsequent perspective, and associating the subsequent 2D image with the new 3D data points.
