{"abstract":[{"lang":"eng","text":"Methods, apparatus and computer program products can generate light weight but highly realistic and accurate colored models of three-dimensional colored objects. The colored model may be generated from a second plurality of points that define a coarse digital representation of the surface and at least one texture map containing information derived from a first plurality of colored points that define a fine digital representation of the surface. This derivation is achieved by mapping points within the texture map to the fine digital representation of the three-dimensional surface. Colored scan data may be used to construct the fine digital representation as a triangulated surface (i.e., triangulation) using a wrapping operation."}],"year":"2005","author":[{"full_name":"Williams, Steven","last_name":"Williams","first_name":"Steven"},{"orcid":"0000-0002-9823-6833","first_name":"Herbert","id":"3FB178DA-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","last_name":"Edelsbrunner","full_name":"Edelsbrunner, Herbert"},{"last_name":"Fu","first_name":"Ping","full_name":"Fu, Ping"}],"user_id":"8b945eb4-e2f2-11eb-945a-df72226e66a9","ipn":"US6853373B2","ipc":"G06T17/20 ; G06T15/04","applicant":["Raindrop Geomagic, Inc."],"month":"02","oa":1,"type":"patent","publist_id":"2878","oa_version":"Published Version","citation":{"ieee":"S.
