Abstract
Described are techniques for indoor mapping and navigation. A reference mobile device including sensors to capture range, depth and position data and processes such data. The reference mobile device further includes a processor that is configured to process the captured data to generate a 2D or 3D mapping of localization information of the device that is rendered on a display unit, execute an object recognition to identify types of installed devices of interest of interest in a part of the 2D or 3D device mapping, integrate the 3D device mapping in the built environment to objects in the environment through capturing point cloud data along with 2D image or video frame data of the build environment.

A system for indoor mapping and navigation comprises:
- a reference mobile device including sensors to capture range, depth and position data with the mobile device including a depth perception unit a position estimator, a heading estimator, and an inertial measurement unit to process data received by the sensors from an environment, the reference mobile device further including a processor configured to:
- process the captured data to generate a 2D or 3D mapping of localization information of the device that is rendered on a display unit;
- execute an object recognition to identify types of installed devices of interest of interest in a part of the 2D or 3D device mapping;
- and
- integrate the 3D device mapping in the built environment to objects in the environment through capturing point cloud data along with 2D image or video frame data of the build environment.
A method for indoor mapping and navigation, the method comprising:
- capturing by a reference mobile device that includes an RGB imager, a range sensor, a microelectromechanical system sensor, a depth perception unit, a position estimator, a heading estimator, and an inertial measurement unit to capture data from an environment, the reference mobile device including a processor configured to:
- processing the captured data to generate a 2D or 3D mapping of localization information of the device that is rendered on a display unit;
- executing an object recognition to identify types of installed devices of interest of interest in a part of the 2D or 3D device mapping;
- and
- integrating the 3D device mapping in the built environment to objects in the environment through capturing point cloud data along with 2D image or video frame data of the build environment.
