Abstract
A method includes obtaining images, obtaining three-dimensional surface measurements, defining a three-dimensional mesh using the three-dimensional surface measurements, texturing the three-dimensional mesh using the images to define a textured three-dimensional mesh, identifying a first portion of the textured three-dimensional mesh, identifying a second portion of the textured three-dimensional mesh that obstructs visibility of part of the first portion of the textured three-dimensional mesh from an overhead perspective, and rendering a simulated overhead perspective image such that the second portion of the textured three-dimensional mesh is not represented in the simulated overhead perspective image.
