Patent attributes
An electronic device for object rigging includes a processor. The processor is configured to obtain a 3D scan of an object. The processor is also configured to match a rigged parametric model to the 3D scan by minimizing a surface distance and 3D joint errors between the rigged parametric model and the 3D scan. The processor is further configured to identify a correspondence between the rigged parametric model and the 3D scan. Additionally, the processor is configured to transfer attributes of the rigged parametric model to the 3D scan based on the correspondence to generate a rigged 3D scan. The processor is also configured to apply animation motion to the rigged 3D scan. The rigged 3D scan with the applied animation motion is rendered on a display.
