Systems and methods of creating a three-dimensional virtual image

Abstract

Embodiments of the present invention create a three-dimensional virtual model by a user identifying a three-dimensional object, capturing a plurality of two-dimensional images of said object in succession, said plurality of images being captured from different orientations, recording said plurality of images on a storage medium, determining the relative change in position of said plurality of images by comparing two subsequent images, wherein the relative change is determined by a difference in color intensity values between the pixels of one image and another image, generating a plurality of arrays from the difference determined and generating a computer image from said plurality of arrays, wherein said computer image represents said three-dimensional object.

1 . A method of generating a virtual three-dimensional model of an object, the method comprising:
 obtaining a plurality of two-dimensional images of the object in succession, the plurality of two-dimensional images being captured form different orientations;   storing said plurality of two-dimensional images into one or more memories;   determining a relative change in position of said plurality of two-dimensional images by comparing two subsequent images of the plurality of two-dimensional images, wherein the relative change is determined by a difference in color intensity values between pixels of one of the two subsequent images and another of the two subsequent images;   generating a three-dimensional coordinate based on the relative change in position; and   generating a computer image including the three-dimensional coordinate, wherein said computer image represents the virtual three-dimensional model of the object.
