Abstract
A method is provided that includes generating a four-dimensional (4D) model of an environment based on three-dimensional (3D) coordinates of the environment captured at a first point in time. The method further includes updating the 4D model based at least in part to an update to at least a subset of the 3D coordinates of the environment captured at a second point in time. The method further includes enriching the 4D model by adding supplemental information to the model.
Claims18
A method comprising:
- generating a four-dimensional (4D) model of an environment based on three-dimensional (3D) coordinates of the environment captured at a first point in time corresponding to a first timestamp;
- updating the 4D model based at least in part-te on an update to at least a subset of the 3D coordinates of the environment captured at a second point in time corresponding to a second timestamp;
- and
- enriching the 4D model by adding supplemental information comprising at least one of text entered by a user, an image from a camera that is localized on the 4D model, and data from a device;
- removing at least one of a stray point, a transient object, and a reflection data based on timestamps;
- storing the 4D model in a first storage location;
- archiving a subset of the 4D model based on access thereof over time and a timestamp relating to the subset, the archiving being to a second storage location having an access rate that is slower than the first storage location, the subset of the 4D model including at least one of 3D data and metadata.

A system comprising:
- a memory comprising computer readable instructions;
- and
- a processing device for executing the computer readable instructions, the computer readable instructions controlling the processing device to perform operations comprising:
- generating a four-dimensional (4D) model of an environment based on three-dimensional (3D) coordinates of the environment captured at a first point in time;
- updating the 4D model based at least in part to an update to at least a subset of the 3D coordinates of the environment captured at a second point in time;
- and
- enriching the 4D model by adding supplemental information comprising text, an image, or data from a device to the model;
- removing at least one of a stray point, a transient object, and a reflection data based on timestamps;
- storing the 4D model in a first storage location;
- archiving a subset of the 4D model based on spatial and temporal characteristics, the archiving being to a second storage location, the second storage location having an access rate that is slower than the first storage location, the subset of the 4D model including at least one of 3D data and metadata.

A method comprising:
- localizing a sensor within a physical environment using at least one of text, an image, and data from a device;
- registering a dataset in model of the physical environment;
- generating a four-dimensional (4D) model of the physical environment based on the dataset and timestamps of data captured in the dataset;
- removing at least one of a stray point, a transient object, and a reflection data based on timestamps;
- merging different qualities of data within the dataset and overwriting corresponding elements with lower quality data;
- maintaining dimension of time in dataset as a timestamp representing the time of collection of the data;
- storing the 4D model in a first storage location;
- and
- archiving a subset of the 4D model based on access thereof over time and a timestamp relating to the subset, the archiving being to a second storage location having an access rate that is slower than the first storage location, the subset of the 4D model including at least one of 3D data and metadata.
