Abstract
In one example implementation, a system for aligning of images of a three-dimensional (3D) object includes a select engine to select a first image and a second image from a sequence of images of a 3D object taken at different object orientations from a capture cycle of a scanner, a combine engine to combine first metadata from the first image and second metadata from the second image to form combined metadata, an orientation engine to select a third image from the sequence of images, where the third image is from an opposite object orientation relative to a first object orientation of the first image or a second object orientation of the second image, and an align engine to align the sequence of images based on the combined metadata and third metadata from the third image.
