Abstract

A system comprising an imaging device adapted to capture images of a target object at multiple angles. The system also comprises storage coupled to the imaging device and adapted to store a generic model of the target object. The system further comprises processing logic coupled to the imaging device and adapted to perform an iterative process by which the generic model is modified in accordance with the target object. During each iteration of the iterative process, the processing logic obtains structural and textural information associated with at least one of the captured images and modifies the generic model with the structural and textural information. The processing logic displays the generic model.
