Abstract

A three-dimensional (3D) scene is computationally reconstructed using a combination of plural modeling techniques. Point clouds representing an object in the 3D scene are generated by different modeled techniques and each point is encoded with a confidence value which reflects a degree of accuracy in describing the surface of the object in the 3D scene based on strengths and weaknesses of each modeling technique. The point clouds are merged in which a point for each location on the object is selected according to the modeling technique that provides the highest confidence.
