Abstract
A method for three-dimensional imaging is provided, storing a first two-dimensional image of field of view of a scanning device at a first position where a first three-dimensional view of the object is captured with said handheld scanning device; estimating location metric of a second two-dimensional image of field of view of said scanning device at a second position relative to said first image while said scanning device is being moved from said first position to said second position; and generating instructions on providing feedback to the user based on said location metric; wherein said feedback is provided to indicate if said second position is adequate for capturing a second three-dimensional view. A system for three-dimensional imaging is provided as well.
