Abstract:
Described herein are a system and methods for efficiently using depth and image information for a space to generate a 3D representation of that space. In some embodiments, an indication of one or more points is received with respect to image information, which is then mapped to corresponding points within depth information. A boundary may then be calculated to be associated with each of the points based on the depth information at, and surrounding, each point. Each of the boundaries are extended outward until junctions are identified as bounding the boundaries in a direction. The system may determine whether the process is complete or not based on whether any of the calculated boundaries are currently unlimited in extent in any direction. Once the system determines that each of the boundaries is limited in extent, a 3D representation of the space may be generated based on the identified junctions and/or boundaries.

Claim (Index 14):
An apparatus comprising:\n a display; a camera device configured to capture image information depicting at least a portion of a scene; a depth sensor device configured to capture depth information for the portion of the scene; a mobile application stored in a computer-readable medium that, when executed, causes the apparatus to, at least:\n display the image information representing at least the portion of the scene on the display; \n receive depth information from the depth sensor which corresponds to the image information captured using the camera device; \n receive an indication of a first point and a second point within the image information as a selection of points on the display by a user of the apparatus; \n determine depth information for the first point and the second point by identifying data within the depth information corresponding to locations of the first point and the second point; \n identify, using the depth information for the first point and the second point, a first boundary associated with the first point that matches a first surface boundary for some first portion of distance and a second boundary associated with the second point that matches a second surface boundary for some second portion of distance within the depth information, the first point corresponding to a location some distance inside of the first surface boundary and the second point corresponding to a location some distance inside the second surface boundary; \n determine a junction as a line on which the first boundary and second boundary intersect; and \n cause a 3D model to be generated that includes at least the determined junction.
