Systems and methods for emergency response mapping and visualization in three dimensions using orthographic projection information

A system comprising:

• one or more processors;
• and
• one or more computer-readable storage media having computer-readable instructions stored thereon, wherein the computer-readable instructions, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to:
• identify a building of interest, wherein the building of interest is associated with an emergency incident or emergency incident report, and is an unfamiliar building for emergency responders;
• determine a particular floor within the building of interest, wherein the particular floor is included in one or more floors of the building of interest;
• obtain a top-down view two-dimensional (2D) orthographic projection of three-dimensional (3D) interior survey data corresponding to the particular floor, wherein the top-down view 2D orthographic projection includes one or more visual landmarks;
• and
• generate a 3D view of at least a portion of the building of interest to provide visualization information to the emergency responders, wherein the 3D view is different from the 3D interior survey data, and includes a graphical overlay representation of the top-down view 2D orthographic projection of the particular floor rendered within the 3D view, and wherein the 3D view includes one or more control elements for manipulating the 3D view,
• wherein the top-down view 2D orthographic projection is generated from a portion of the 3D interior survey data associated with respective 3D height coordinates less than or equal to a configured threshold height value, and
• wherein the portion of the 3D interior survey data excludes 3D points or 3D data associated with light fixtures or ceiling-mounted objects represented in the 3D interior survey data.

One or more non-transitory computer-readable media comprising computer-readable instructions, which when executed by one or more processors of an emergency response mapping and visualization service, cause the emergency response mapping and visualization service to:

• identify a building of interest, wherein the building of interest is associated with an emergency incident or emergency incident report, and is an unfamiliar building for emergency responders;
• determine a particular floor within the building of interest, wherein the particular floor is included in one or more floors of the building of interest;
• obtain a top-down view two-dimensional (2D) orthographic projection of three-dimensional (3D) interior survey data corresponding to the particular floor, wherein the top-down view 2D orthographic projection includes one or more visual landmarks;
• and
• generate a 3D view of at least a portion of the building of interest to provide visualization information to the emergency responders, wherein the 3D view is different from the 3D interior survey data, and includes a graphical overlay representation of the top-down view 2D orthographic projection of the particular floor rendered within the 3D view, and wherein the 3D view includes one or more control elements for manipulating the 3D view,
• wherein the top-down view 2D orthographic projection is generated from a portion of the 3D interior survey data associated with respective 3D height coordinates less than or equal to a configured threshold height value, and
• wherein the portion of the 3D interior survey data excludes 3D points or 3D data associated with light fixtures or ceiling-mounted objects represented in the 3D interior survey data.
