Abstract
Systems, devices and methods are described including receiving a source image having a foreground portion and a background portion, where the background portion includes image content of a three-dimensional (3D) environment. A camera pose of the source image may be determined by comparing features of the source image to image features of target images of the 3D environment and using the camera pose to segment the foreground portion from the background portion may generate a segmented source image. The resulting segmented source image and the associated camera pose may be stored in a networked database. The camera pose and segmented source image may be used to provide a simulation of the foreground portion in a virtual 3D environment.
