1. A method comprising:
acquiring volumetric 3D data with a plurality of camera devices;
processing a first portion of the volumetric 3D data with a local device;
analyzing a first set of load information of the local device, a second set of load information of a remote device, and network bandwidth information; and
processing a second portion of the volumetric 3D data with a remote device based on the analysis of the first set of load information of the local device, the second set of load information of the remote device, and the network bandwidth information, wherein processing the first portion of the volumetric 3D data comprises determining structure from motion by estimating one or more 3D structures from 2D image sequences based on local motion using triangulation to calculate 3D positions of a subject from stereo pairs.
