Abstract
A method and system for deriving colors from photometric calculations with adjustment by a global color registration process. Information from a low spatial resolution mesh representation of the object is combined with higher resolution color images from a photometric system. The colors computed using the low spatial resolution mesh representation are made consistent from image to image such that, when the images are combined, the resultant image of the object exhibits substantially seamless, artifact-free surface color characteristics.
