Abstract
Described herein are methods and systems for remote visualization of three-dimensional (3D) animation. A sensor of a mobile device captures scans of non-rigid objects in a scene, each scan comprising a depth map and a color image. A server receives a first set of scans from the mobile device and reconstructs an initial model of the non-rigid objects using the first set of scans. The server receives a second set of scans. For each scan in the second set of one or more scans, the server determines an initial alignment between the depth map and the initial model. The server converts the depth map into a coordinate system of the initial model, and determines a displacement between the depth map and the initial model. The server deforms the initial model to the depth map using the displacement, and applies a texture to at least a portion of the deformed model.
