Claim 18:
19. A computer system comprising:
a computer; and
a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing instructions that when executed by the computer perform actions comprising:
receiving a first set of image data captured by a camera integrated in a first client device, the first set of image data including multiple images and representing a near real-time view of a first area around the first client device;
generating a first 3D map based on the first set of image data, the first 3D map spatially describing the first area around the first client device;
generating a first node of a graph of nodes representing a singular 3D map, the first node representing the first 3D map and associated with a first coordinate space;
generating a second 3D map based on a second set of image data including multiple images, wherein the second 3D map spatially describes a second area around a second client device;
generating a second node of the graph of nodes representing the singular 3D map, the second node representing the second 3D map associated with a second coordinate space;
analyzing the first 3D map and second 3D map to identify a common feature; and
linking, based on the common feature, the first node and the second node with an edge that represents a transformation between the first coordinate space and the second coordinate space, wherein the edge is associated with a confidence score that represents a likelihood that using the transformation to move from the first node to the second node will result in an output node being identical to the second node.
