Abstract

A computer tool generates user-defined diminished reality images of a subject environment from source images. The diminished reality images display less real-world objects in the subject environment than that displayed in the source images. A 3D model of the subject environment in diminished reality is formed from the diminished reality images. The 3D model supports augmented reality user interaction with views of the subject environment diminished in reality and tidied/decluttered of user-selected objects.
