Abstract

Enabling colorization and color adjustments on 3D point clouds, which are projected onto a 2D view with an equirectangular projection. A user may color regions on the 2D view and preview the changes immediately in a 3D view of the point cloud. Embodiments render the color of each point in the point cloud by testing whether the 2D projection of the point is inside the colored region. Applications may include generation of a color 3D virtual reality environment using point clouds and color-adjusted imagery.
