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, comprising:

• calculating a position and an orientation of a means for capturing the image 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;
• 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 by applying a line segment detection algorithm to detect two-dimensional line segments within the detected target area;
• generating a three-dimensional model based on the processed two-dimensional illustration of the floorplan 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 in the augmented reality environment superimposed on the processed two-dimensional illustration of the floorplan.

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

• calculating a position and an orientation of a means for capturing the image 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;
• 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 by applying a line segment detection algorithm to detect two-dimensional line segments within the detected target area;
• generating a three-dimensional model based on the processed two-dimensional illustration of the floorplan 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 superimposed on the processed two-dimensional illustration of the floorplan.
