Abstract
Described herein are methods and systems for closed-form 3D model generation of non-rigid complex objects from incomplete and noisy scans. An image processing module receives a scan of a non-rigid complex object captured by a sensor, a 3D model corresponding to the object, and a camera trace, where the scan includes one or more holes. The module cleans the scan and the 3D model using the camera trace. The module deforms the cleaned 3D model to the cleaned scan and matches the deformed 3D model to the cleaned scan. The module determines one or more portions of the deformed 3D model that are unmatched and deforms the unmatched portions of the deformed 3D model to the scan using the matched portions of the deformed 3D model to generate a closed-form 3D model that closes the holes in the scan.
