Abstract
Systems and methods for assisting a user in capturing images for three-dimensional (3D) reconstruction are provided. A system includes an input module configured to receive current video image data from a device. The system also includes an analysis module configured to determine a 3D reconstruction indicator based on the current video image data and a previous image (or images) of a target captured by the device. The analysis module is also configured to determine whether the 3D reconstruction indicator is sufficient to allow a 3D reconstruction of the target based on the current video image data and the previous image. The system also includes a guidance module configured to assist the user in capturing a current image of the target from the current video image data based on the determination of whether the 3D reconstruction indicator is sufficient.
