Abstract: Systems, computer program products, and techniques for reconstructing objects depicted in digital image data within a three-dimensional space are disclosed, according to various exemplary embodiments. The inventive concepts uniquely utilize internal features to accomplish reconstruction, thereby avoiding reliance on reconstructing objects based on information derived from location of edges. The inventive concepts thus provide an improvement over conventional object reconstruction since objects may be reconstructed even when edges are obscured or not depicted in the digital image data. In one aspect, a computer-implemented method of reconstructing an object depicted in a digital image includes: detecting a plurality of identifying features of the object, wherein the plurality of identifying features are located internally with respect to the object; and reconstructing the digital image of the object within a three dimensional coordinate space based at least in part on some or all of the plurality of identifying features.

Abstract: In various embodiments, methods, systems, and computer program products for determining distance between an object and a capture device are disclosed. The distance determination techniques are based on image data captured by the capture device, where the image data represent the object. These techniques improve the function of capture devices such as mobile phones by enabling determination of distance using a single lens capture device, and based on intrinsic parameters of the capture device, such as focal length and scaling factor(s), in preferred approaches. In some approaches, the distance estimation may be based in part on a priori knowledge regarding size of the object represented in the image data. Distance determination may be based on a homography transform and/or reference image data representing the object, a same type or similar type of object, in more approaches.
