Abstract
Embodiments include a computer-implemented method for generating a three-dimensional (3D) model. The method includes receiving a first and second sets of sensed position data indicative of a position of a camera device(s) at or near a time when it is used to acquire first and second images of an image pair, respectively, determining a sensed rotation matrix and/or a sensed translation vector for the image pair using the first and second sets of sensed position data, identifying a calculated transformation including a calculated translation vector and rotation matrix, generating a sensed camera transformation including the sensed rotation matrix and/or the sensed translation vector, and, if the sensed camera transformation is associated with a lower error than the calculated camera transformation, using it to generate a 3D model.
