Systems and methods for generating augmented reality environments from two-dimensional drawings

A method for generating an augmented reality environment from a two-dimensional illustration of a floorplan of a structure, comprising:

• calibrating an image capture source by determining at least one parameter of the image capture source based on a set of patterned images and a library;
• calculating a position and an orientation of the image capture source relative to a coordinate system based on a set of augmented reality markers, the set of augmented reality markers being positioned proximate to the two-dimensional illustration of the floorplan of the structure and being one of synthetic markers and fiducial markers;
• detecting a target area comprising the two-dimensional illustration of the floorplan based on the set of augmented reality markers;
• processing the two-dimensional illustration of the floorplan of the structure by applying a line segment detection algorithm to detect two-dimensional line segments within the detected target area;
• generating a three-dimensional model of the structure based on the processed two-dimensional illustration of the floorplan of the structure by projecting each detected two-dimensional line segment into a three-dimensional reference plane where the augmented reality markers are positioned;
• and
• rendering the three-dimensional model of the structure superimposed on the processed two-dimensional illustration of the floorplan of the structure.

A non-transitory computer readable medium having instructions stored thereon for generating an augmented reality environment from a two-dimensional illustration of a floorplan of a structure which, when executed by a processor, causes the processor to carry out the steps of:

• calibrating an image capture source by determining at least one parameter of the image capture source based on a captured set of patterned images and a library;
• calculating a position and an orientation of the image capture source relative to a coordinate system based on a set of augmented reality markers, the set of augmented reality markers being positioned proximate to the two-dimensional illustration of the floorplan of the structure and being one of synthetic markers or fiducial markers;
• detecting a target area comprising the two-dimensional illustration of the floorplan of the structure based on the set of augmented reality markers;
• processing the two-dimensional illustration of the floorplan of the structure by applying a line segment detection algorithm to detect two-dimensional line segments within the detected target area;
• generating a three-dimensional model of the structure based on the processed two-dimensional illustration of the floorplan of the structure by projecting each detected two-dimensional line segment into a three-dimensional reference plane where the augmented reality markers are positioned;
• and
• rendering the three-dimensional model of the structure superimposed on the processed two-dimensional illustration of the floorplan of the structure.
