Determining and/or generating data for an architectural opening area associated with a captured three-dimensional model

A method, comprising:

• employing a processor that facilitates execution of computer executable instructions stored on a non-transitory computer readable medium to implement operations, comprising:
• generating a three-dimensional (3D) model based on image data and depth data captured from a set of 3D sensors;
• identifying data of the 3D model that corresponds to a view associated with an architectural opening area based at least in part on color data or the depth data;
• determining a first surface to render the view, wherein the first surface is parallel to a second surface of the 3D model, the second surface being associated with the architectural opening area;
• determining visual appearance data for the view associated with the architectural opening area, the visual appear data being a set of two-dimensional (2D) images that comprises 2D data for an outside area outside the 3D model, wherein the set of 2D images is captured at a geographic location associated with the view;
• and
• applying, to the first surface, the visual appearance data for the view, the visual appearance data being at least a portion of the set of 2D images that comprises the 2D data for the outside area outside the 3D model as the view.

A computer readable storage device comprising instructions that, in response to execution, cause a system comprising a processor to perform operations, comprising:

• generating a three-dimensional (3D) model based on image data captured from a set of 3D sensors;
• identifying a portion of an image associated with the 3D model that corresponds to a window view or an architectural opening view based on data related to pixels of the image;
• determining a first surface to render the window view or the architectural opening view, wherein the first surface is parallel to a second surface of the 3D model, the second surface being associated with an opening area for the window view or the architectural opening view;
• determining visual data for the window view or the architectural opening view is a set of images that comprises two-dimensional (2D) data for an outdoor area not included in the 3D model, wherein the set of images is captured at a geographic location associated with the window view or the other architectural opening;
• and
• applying, to the first surface, the visual data for the window view or the architectural opening view, the visual data being the set of images that comprises the 2D data associated with the outdoor area outside the 3D model.
