Abstract
Systems, computer program products, and techniques for reconstructing objects depicted in digital image data within a three-dimensional space are disclosed, according to various exemplary embodiments. The inventive concepts uniquely utilize internal features to accomplish reconstruction, thereby avoiding reliance on reconstructing objects based on information derived from location of edges. The inventive concepts thus provide an improvement over conventional object reconstruction since objects may be reconstructed even when edges are obscured or not depicted in the digital image data. In one aspect, a computer-implemented method of reconstructing an object depicted in a digital image includes: detecting a plurality of identifying features of the object, wherein the plurality of identifying features are located internally with respect to the object; and reconstructing the digital image of the object within a three dimensional coordinate space based at least in part on some or all of the plurality of identifying features.
