Abstract:
Provided is a method and apparatus for combining perceived depths to construct a floor plan using cameras, such as depth cameras. The camera(s) perceive depths from the camera(s) to objects within a first field of view. The camera(s) is rotated to observe a second field of view partly overlapping the first field of view. The camera(s) perceives depths from the camera(s) to objects within the second field of view. The depths from the first and second fields of view are compared to find the area of overlap between the two fields of view. The depths from the two fields of view are then merged at the area of overlap to create a segment of a floor plan. The method is repeated wherein depths are perceived within consecutively overlapping fields of view and are combined to construct a floor plan of the environment as the camera is rotated.

Claim (Index 5):
The method of  claim 1 , wherein aligning comprises:\n determining a first area of overlap between a first depth image and a second depth image among the plurality of depth images; and determining a second area of overlap between the second depth image and a third depth image among the plurality of depth images, the first area of overlap being at least partially different from the second area of overlap.
