ABSTRACT:
An image capturing system utilizes a plurality of image capturing apparatus to capture first image data for an object. A processor is utilized to combine the first images to produce first three-dimensional digital image data. The processor then utilizes a second algorithm to combine the intermediate digital image information to produce a complete three-dimensional digital image of the object. The three-dimensional image may be viewed on a display and viewed from any point on a three dimensional surface surrounding the object. The object can be non-stationary.
