Abstract

The present disclosure describes systems and techniques relating to generating three dimensional (3D) models from range sensor data. According to an aspect, multiple 3D point clouds, which are captured using one or more 3D cameras, are obtained. At least two of the 3D point clouds correspond to different positions of a body relative to at least a single one of the one or more 3D cameras. Two or more of the 3D point clouds are identified as corresponding to two or more predefined poses, and a segmented representation of the body is generated, in accordance with a 3D part-based volumetric model including cylindrical representations, based on the two 3D point clouds identified as corresponding to the two predefined pose.
