The present invention relates to a method comprising: obtaining a first three-dimensional model including a first plurality of sets of three-dimensional points spatially related to one another by a first camera path and a second three-dimensional model including a second plurality of sets of three-dimensional points spatially related to one another by a second camera path. The method further comprises registering one of the first plurality of sets of three-dimensional points to one of the second plurality of sets of three-dimensional points to place the first three-dimensional model and the second three-dimensional model in a shared coordinate system, creating a virtual stitch graph that spatially relates the first plurality of sets and the second plurality of sets, thereby providing a combined model that includes the first plurality of sets and the second plurality of sets all spatially related by the virtual stitch graph, and refining the combined model with a global motion optimization of the virtual stitch graph.
