Abstract
A computer-implemented method according to one embodiment includes identifying a plurality of two-dimensional (2D) images illustrating a subject performing a rotation, selecting a representative image of the subject, cropping the plurality of 2D images, utilizing the representative image of the subject, to create a cropped plurality of 2D images, aligning each of the cropped plurality of 2D images, thereby creating an aligned plurality of 2D images, selecting a subset of the aligned plurality of 2D images that illustrate a predetermined amount of rotation of the subject, and creating a three-dimensional (3D) point cloud of the subject, utilizing the subset of the aligned plurality of 2D images.
