Problems solved by technology

However, techniques for using this data, e.g. for modification or for other applications such as generating one or more 3D objects based on a 3D video, are not readily available
For example, it is currently not easy to 3D print 3D video data without a toolchain of software tools capable of extracting 3D data and transforming the 3D data into something suitable for 3D printing
Typically, 3D video data is not formatted for 3D printing and is not inherently printable, for example because a video stream is basically just an index into a collection of frames and does not define a 3D object in a way usable by a 3D printing or generating device

Embodiment Construction

[0014] Systems and techniques for transforming three-dimensional (3D) video data into 3D printable models are described herein. In one aspect, 3D video data can be received for 3D generation. In some aspects, 3D video data may be received via a user interface associated with a 3D video player by selection, such as by selection of one or more frames of 3D video data. In some aspects, such as when the 3D video data or frames do not define fully defined 3D objects, the 3D video data may be modified or repaired to define one or more fully defined 3D objects such that one or more volumes are enclosed. Next, at least one of the object or the bounding volume may be reoriented based on one or more capabilities of the target device, such as the target 3D printing device or 3D printer. In some aspects, re-orientation may be performed to optimize the total print volume or print orientation of the 3D video data, eg, to enable a target 3D printing device to accurately and completely gener...

Abstract

Systems, devices, and methods are described herein for transforming three dimensional (3D) video data into a 3D printable model. In one aspect, a method for transforming 3D video data may include receiving 3D video data indicated or selected for 3D printing. The selected portion or 3D video data, which may include a frame of the 3D video data, may be repaired or modified to generate a 3D model that define at least one enclosed volume. At least one of the enclosed volumes of the 3D video data may be re-oriented based on at least one capability of a target 3D printing device. In some aspects, the re-orienting may be performed to optimize at least one of a total print volume or print orientation of the at least one enclosed volume. In some aspects, the method may be performed in response to asingle selection or action performed by a user.

Description

technical field [0001] The present disclosure relates generally to three-dimensional (3D) modeling, and more particularly to transforming 3D video data to be generated using a 3D generating device or a 3D printing device. Background technique [0002] Due to advances in 3D modeling techniques, mobile device technology, and many other factors, the generation, display, and access of three-dimensional (3D) video continues to increase. However, techniques for using this data, eg for modification or for other applications, such as generating one or more 3D objects based on a 3D video, are not readily available. For example, it is currently not easy to 3D print 3D video data without a toolchain of software tools capable of extracting 3D data and transforming the 3D data into something suitable for 3D printing. Typically, 3D video data is not formatted for 3D printing and is not inherently printable, for example because a video stream is basically just an index to a collection of ...
