Abstract
Embodiments of the present invention create a three-dimensional virtual model by a user identifying a three-dimensional object, capturing a plurality of two-dimensional images of said object in succession, said plurality of images being captured from different orientations, recording said plurality of images on a storage medium, determining the relative change in position of said plurality of images by comparing two subsequent images, wherein the relative change is determined by a difference in color intensity values between the pixels of one image and another image, generating a plurality of arrays from the difference determined and generating a computer image from said plurality of arrays, wherein said computer image represents said three-dimensional object.
