Abstract

A method for creating a three dimensional, textured model of at least one object is provided. The method includes identifying regions of the at least one object in a number of two dimensional images of the at least one object. The method further interrelates the regions identified from the two dimensional images and stores data concerning the region, including its texture, in a data structure that represents the model of the object.
