Abstract
Described herein are methods and systems for three-dimensional (3D) object capture and object reconstruction using edge cloud computing resources. A sensor coupled to a mobile device captures (i) depth maps of a physical object, the depth maps including pose information, and (ii) color images of the object. An edge cloud device coupled to the mobile device via a 5G connection receives the depth maps and the color images. The edge cloud device generates a new 3D model of the object based on the depth maps and color images, when a 3D model of the object has not been generated. The edge cloud device updates an existing 3D model of the object based on the depth maps and color images, when a 3D model of the object has previously been generated. The edge cloud device transmits the new 3D model or the updated 3D model to the mobile device.
