Abstract

Examples disclose a method and system to transform a colored point cloud to a 3D textured mesh. The method may be executable to identify a location on a 2D image of an object, identify a location on a 3D image of the object, and determine a color associated with the location on the 2D image. Determining a color may include receiving data associated with a simulation of a plurality of rays cast on the 3D image, identifying a color of the location on the 3D image associated with the received data, identifying a confidence level associated with the identified color of the location on the 3D image, and associating the identified color of the location on the 3D image with the location on the 2D image.
