System and method of scanning and editing two dimensional floorplans

Abstract:

One or more embodiments are described for generating a two dimensional map of an environment using a set of submaps that include point clouds of the environment that are captured using a scanner device that is moved from one position to another in the environment. An example method includes revising the two-dimensional map by editing at least one of the submaps from the set, independently of the other submaps from the set. In one or more examples, the editing may be based on one or more of the other submaps from the set. The one or more embodiments facilitate revising the two-dimensional map in an offline manner and without rescanning the environment.
