Abstract
Systems, methods, and computer storage mediums are provided for creating a scene scan from a group of photographic images. An exemplary method includes determining a set of common features for at least one pair of photographic images. The features include a portion of an object captured in each of a first and a second photographic image included in the pair. The first and second photographic images may be captured from different optical centers. A similarity transform for the at least one pair of photographic images is the determined. The similarity transform is provided in order to render the scene scan from each pair of photographic images. At least one of the rotation factor, the scaling factor, or the translation factor associated with the similarity transform is used to position each pair of photographic images such that the set of common features between a pair of, at least in part, align.
