Abstract
A system for constructing a virtual 3D model of one or more objects within a scene, where the virtual 3D model contains one or more flat faces on each object constructed. In some embodiments, the system may include at least one processing device configured to: receive, through a data interface, data describing a set of measurements of observed portions of the one or more objects in the scene, where the set of measurements was performed by one or more measurement devices; receive, through a data interface or user input device, one or more shape definitions, where the shape definitions define the possible shapes of a virtual 3D model of an object, and where the virtual 3D model of an object is to be constructed from the measurement data, and where the shapes contain one or more regions with primitive geometries.
