Techniques are provided for generating a 3-Dimensional (3D) reconstruction of a handheld object. An example method may include receiving 3D image frames of the object from a static depth camera, each frame including a color image and a depth map. Each of the frames is associated with an updated pose of the object during scanning. The method may also include extracting a segment of each frame corresponding to the object and the hand; isolating the hand from each extracted segment; and filtering each frame by removing regions of the frame outside of the extracted segment and removing regions of the frame corresponding to the isolated hand. The method may further include calculating the updated object pose in each filtered frame; and calculating a 3D position for each depth pixel from the depth map of each filtered frame based on the updated object pose associated with that filtered frame.
