AUTOMATIC SPATIAL LAYOUT DETERMINATION AND ESTIMATION - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20230196670 titled 'AUTOMATIC SPATIAL LAYOUT DETERMINATION AND ESTIMATION
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes systems and methods for generating 2D and 3D layouts from a physical 3D space captured by a capturing device. The layouts have the same scale as the physical space, and measurements of the space can be estimated from the layouts.
- The capturing device captures a point cloud or 3D mesh of the physical space.
- One or more planes are identified from the point cloud or mesh.
- These planes are used to create a virtual 3D reconstruction of the captured space.
- In some cases, a floor plane is identified, and features above the floor plane are projected onto it to create a top-down view and 2D layout.
Potential Applications
- Architecture and interior design: Creating accurate 2D and 3D layouts of physical spaces for planning and visualization purposes.
- Real estate: Generating floor plans and virtual tours of properties.
- Construction: Assisting with measurements and layout planning on construction sites.
- Augmented reality: Overlaying virtual objects onto physical spaces with accurate scale and alignment.
Problems Solved
- Accurate representation: The technology allows for the creation of layouts that have the same scale as the physical space, providing an accurate representation for various applications.
- Measurement estimation: The system can estimate measurements of the physical space from the generated layouts, eliminating the need for manual measurements.
Benefits
- Time-saving: The technology automates the process of creating layouts and estimating measurements, saving time compared to manual methods.
- Accuracy: The layouts have an identical scale to the physical space, ensuring accurate representation and measurements.
- Versatility: The system can work with different capturing devices and can be applied to various industries and use cases.
Original Abstract Submitted
embodiments include systems and methods for generating 2d and 3d layouts from a physical 3d space captured by a capturing device, the layouts having an identical scale to the physical 3d space, and estimating measurements of the physical 3d space from the layouts. the capturing device captures a point cloud or 3d mesh of the physical 3d space, from which one or more planes are identified. these one or more planes can then be used to create a virtual 3d reconstruction of the captured 3d space. in other embodiments, one plane may be identified as a floor plane, and features from the point cloud or 3d mesh that are above the floor plane may be projected onto the floor plane to create a top down view and 2d layout. other embodiments are described.
