Three dimensional scene reconstruction based on contextual analysis

Techniques are provided for context-based 3D scene reconstruction employing fusion of multiple instances of an object within the scene. A methodology implementing the techniques according to an embodiment includes receiving 3D image frames of the scene, each frame associated with a pose of a depth camera, and creating a 3D reconstruction of the scene based on depth pixels that are projected and accumulated into a global coordinate system. The method may also include detecting objects, based on the 3D reconstruction, the camera pose and the image frames. The method may further include classifying the detected objects into one or more object classes; grouping two or more instances of objects in one of the object classes based on a measure of similarity of features between the object instances; and combining point clouds associated with each of the grouped object instances to generate a fused object.
