A system configured to assist a user in scanning a physical environment in order to generate a three-dimensional scan or model. In some cases, the system may include an interface to assist the user in capturing data usable to determine a scale or depth of the physical environment and to perform a scan in a manner that minimizes gaps.

A computer system maintains structure data indicating geometrical constraints for each structure category of a plurality of structure categories. The computer system generates a virtual 3D representation of a structure based on a set of images depicting the structure. For each image in the set of images, one or more landmarks are identified. Based on the landmarks, a candidate structure category is selected. The virtual 3D representation is generated based on the geometrical constraints of the candidate structure category and the landmarks identified in the set of images.

A method for three-dimensional (3D) modeling using two-dimensional (2D) image data includes obtaining a first image of an object oriented in a first direction and a second image of the object oriented in a second direction, determining a plurality of feature points of the object in the first image, and determining a plurality of matching feature points of the object in the second image that correspond to the plurality of feature points of the object in the first image. The method further includes calculating similarity values between the plurality of feature points and the corresponding plurality of matching feature points, calculating depth values of the plurality of feature points, calculating weighted depth values based on the similarity values and depth values, and performing 3D modeling of the object based on the weighted depth values.

In example implementations, a method is provided. The method includes printing a three-dimensional (3D) object that includes a secondary structure. The secondary structure is removed. A representation of a surface of the 3D object where the secondary structure was removed is captured. The 3D object is authenticated based on the representation of the surface.
