Abstract
A spatial indexing system receives a video that is a sequence of frames depicting an environment, such as a floor of a construction site, and performs a spatial indexing process to automatically identify the spatial locations at which each of the images were captured. The spatial indexing system also generates an immersive model of the environment and provides a visualization interface that allows a user to view each of the images at its corresponding location within the model.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- receiving, from a first image capture system, a set of images each comprising an image timestamp, the set of images captured by the first image capture system as the first image capture system is moved through an environment;
- generating an estimated camera path of a second image capture system representative of movement through the environment based on a set of video frames captured by the second image capture system;
- associating the set of images with locations along the estimated camera path based on the image timestamps of the set of images and timestamps of the set of video frames;
- and
- displaying one or more of the set of images within a three-dimensional rendering of the environment.

A system comprising:
- a processor;
- and
- a non-transitory computer readable storage medium comprising computer program instructions that when executed by the processor, cause the processor to:
- receive, from a first image capture system, a set of images each comprising an image timestamp, the set of images captured by the first image capture system as the first image capture system is moved through an environment;
- generate an estimated camera path of a second image capture system representative of movement through the environment based on a set of video frames captured by the second image capture system;
- associate the set of images with locations along the estimated camera path based on the image timestamps of the set of images and timestamps of the set of video frames;
- and
- display one or more of the set of images within a three-dimensional rendering of the environment.
