Abstract

Embodiments disclosed facilitate resource utilization efficiencies in Mobile Stations (MS) during 3D reconstruction. In some embodiments, camera pose information for a first color image captured by a camera on an MS may be obtained and a determination may be made whether to extend or update a first 3-Dimensional (3D) model of an environment being modeled by the MS based, in part, on the first color image and associated camera pose information. The depth sensor, which provides depth information for images captured by the camera, may be disabled, when the first 3D model is not extended or updated.
