Systems and methods for generating and presenting 3d and other representations and associated data

A method comprising:

• receiving images of an environment, the environment including a building, the images captured by an aerial drone;
• generating, based on the images, a 3D representation of the environment, the 3D representation including Gaussian splats representing the environment, including the building;
• identifying particular regions in the 3D representation in which a virtual camera for viewing the 3D representation may be positioned as the 3D representation is navigated, the virtual camera constrained to be positioned only in the particular regions, the particular regions less than an entirety of the 3D representation;
• providing the 3D representation for display;
• receiving inputs to navigate the 3D representation by positioning the virtual camera in the 3D representation;
• and
• positioning, based on the inputs, the virtual camera only in the particular regions in the 3D representation.

A system comprising at least one processor and at least one memory including executable instructions that when executed by the at least one processor cause the system to:

• receive images of an environment, the environment including a building, the images captured by an aerial drone;
• generate, based on the images, a 3D representation of the environment, the 3D representation including Gaussian splats representing the environment, including the building;
• identify particular regions in the 3D representation in which a virtual camera for viewing the 3D representation may be positioned as the 3D representation is navigated, the virtual camera constrained to be positioned only in the particular regions, the particular regions less than an entirety of the 3D representation;
• provide the 3D representation for display;
• receive inputs to navigate the 3D representation by positioning the virtual camera in the 3D representation;
• and
• position, based on the inputs, the virtual camera only in the particular regions in the 3D representation.
