US Patent 12079929 Three-dimensional (3D) model generation from two-dimensional (2D) images

A model generation system generates three-dimensional (3D) models for objects based on two-dimensional (2D) images of the objects. The model generation system may receive object images and generate a 3D object model for the object based on the object image. The model generation system may generate an object skeleton for the object based on the object image. The model generation system may use the object skeleton to generate pixel partitions representing parallel cross sections of the object. The model generation system may apply a machine-learning model (e.g., a neural network) to the object image to determine parameters for a shape that would best represent each parallel cross section and then generate the 3D object model for the object based on the shapes of each cross section, the object image, and the object skeleton.
