==SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR GENERATING THREE-DIMENSIONAL RECONSTRUCTIONS OF ENVIRONMENTS - A simplified explanation of the abstract==


This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20230196597 titled 'SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR GENERATING THREE-DIMENSIONAL RECONSTRUCTIONS OF ENVIRONMENTS

==Simplified Explanation==

The patent application describes methods and systems for creating three-dimensional reconstructions of environments. The system includes a housing with an image sensor and a distance sensor, as well as a control unit with a processor and memory.

* The processor generates an initial 3D model of the environment.
* The processor then creates multiple revolved 3D models by rotating the initial model to different positions within a specific angular range.
* The processor matches a set of distance values to one of the revolved 3D models.
* The processor determines the angular position of the distance sensor relative to the image sensor.
* Finally, the processor generates a complete 3D reconstruction of the environment.

Potential applications of this technology:

* Virtual reality and augmented reality experiences
* Robotics and autonomous navigation systems
* Architectural and interior design visualization
* Industrial inspection and quality control

Problems solved by this technology:

* Provides a more accurate and detailed representation of the environment compared to traditional 2D imaging.
* Enables the creation of immersive virtual environments and realistic simulations.
* Facilitates precise measurements and analysis of objects and spaces.

Benefits of this technology:

* Improved spatial understanding and visualization of environments.
* Enhanced decision-making and planning capabilities in various industries.
* Increased efficiency and accuracy in measurements and inspections.
* Enables the development of advanced computer vision and machine learning algorithms.


==Original Abstract Submitted==

disclosed are methods and systems for generating three-dimensional reconstructions of environments. a system, for example, may include a housing having an image sensor directed in a first direction and a distance sensor directed in a second direction and a control unit including a processor and a memory storing instructions. the processor may be configured to execute the instructions to: generate a first 3d model of an environment; generate a plurality of revolved 3d models by revolving the first 3d model relative to the image sensor to a plurality of positions within a predetermined angular range; match a set of distance values to one of the revolved 3d models; determine an angular position of the second direction relative to the first direction; and generate a 3d reconstruction of the environment.
