Abstract
A method for creating a digital 3D representation of a physical object, the physical object comprising an object surface; wherein the method comprises: obtaining input data, the input data including a plurality of captured images of the physical object and surface normal information of the object, the captured images being captured by an image capturing device, the surface normal information representing object surface normals associated with respective parts of the object surface; creating a digital 3D representation of the object surface; wherein creating the digital 3D representation is based on at least the obtained plurality of captured images and the obtained surface normal information.
