Original Abstract Submitted
various implementations disclosed herein include devices, systems, and methods that track a position of a device within an object-based coordinate system. an example process may include, at a device and prior to movement of an object, acquiring first images of the object, identifying three-dimensional (3d) keypoints on surfaces of the object, and tracking positions of the device in an object-based coordinate system during acquisition of the first images. the process may further include, subsequent to a movement of the object, acquiring second images of the object, identifying the 3d keypoints on surfaces of the object, and tracking positions of the device in the object-based coordinate system during acquisition of the second images based on identifying the 3d keypoints. the process may further include generating a 3d model of the object based on the first and second images and the tracked positions of the device during acquisition of the images.
