Abstract

A computer-implemented method for obtaining texture data for a three-dimensional model is disclosed. The method is performed at a portable electronic device including a camera, one or more processors, and memory storing one or more programs. The method includes obtaining an image of one or more objects with the camera. The method also includes concurrently displaying at least a portion of the image with one or more objects in the three-dimensional model. The one or more objects in the three-dimensional model at least partially overlay the one or more objects in the image. The method furthermore includes storing at least one or more portions of the image as texture data for one or more of the one or more objects in the image.
