Abstract
Methods, storage media, and systems for selecting an optimal two-dimensional image frame within one or more capture windows for a three-dimensional reconstruction pipeline. The method may include generating one or more capture windows. Each capture window may be proximate to a detected actuation, relative to a first image frame, or a combination thereof. A plurality of candidate image frames and sensor data may be captured within each capture window, assigned to each capture window, or a combination thereof. A frame cost for each candidate image frame may be generated based on sensor data, image data, or a combination thereof. An optimal image frame may be selected based on frame cost, sensor data, image data, or a combination thereof. The optimal image frame may be stored. Image frames other than the optimal image frame may be distinguished.
