    Abstract: Systems and processes for locating objects and environmental mapping are provided. For example, a device may receive an input including a reference to a first object, wherein the input includes a request for a location of the first object, and the first object is located in a physical environment. The device may determine a location of the first object, and in response to receiving the input, if first criteria are met, provide a description of the location, wherein a criterion of the one or more first criteria is met when the location is available, and the description includes a relationship between the first object and a reference within the physical environment. If second criteria are met, the device may forgo providing the description of the location, wherein a criterion of the one or more second criteria is met when the location is not available.

  • Publication number: 20230394746
    Abstract: Various implementations provide a 3D floor plan based on scanning multiple rooms. A combined, multi-room 3D floor plan may be generated from multiple 3D floor plans from distinct, non-contiguous room scans, e.g., a first scan that is distinct from a second scan. In some implementations, combining 3D floor plans utilizes a process that, during a second scan, re-localizes in the first room and then tracks the device as the device moves (e.g., as the user walks) to the second room to scan the second room. In other implementations, combining 3D floor plans is based on user input, e.g., positioning the multiple 3D floor plans relative to one another based at least in part on a user positioning graphical representations of the floor plans relative to one another on a user interface.

  • Publication number: 20230394765
    Abstract: Various implementations disclosed herein include devices, systems, and methods that provide a 3D room plan that combines 2D shapes representing elements of a room that are approximately planar (e.g., walls, wall openings, windows, doors, etc.) with 3D primitives representing non-planar elements (e.g., tables, chairs, appliances, etc.). A 3D room plan is a 3D representation of a room or other physical environment that generally identifies or otherwise represents 3D positions of one or more walls, floors, ceilings, other boundaries, other regions, windows, doors, openings, and 3D objects (e.g., objects having significant height, width, and depth in 3 dimensions) within the environment. For example, a 3D floor plan using 2D shapes to represent walls, windows, doors, etc. may be combined with 3D primitives such as 3D bounding boxes representing 3D objects to form a 3D room plan.

  • Publication number: 20230289993
    Abstract: Various implementations provide 3D representations of objects. Such representations may be based on 3D point cloud and/or 2D image inputs that are obtained based on sensor data, e.g., images, depth data, motion data, etc. 3D point cloud input may be used for part segmentation and/or to determine position and/or orientation of object parts, e.g., generating 3D bounding boxes representing the sizes, positions, and orientations, of object parts. 2D image input may be used for part attribute recognition, e.g., to determine whether a chair legs part has a particular type such as star-shaped, straight down, crossed-shaped, etc. Part attributes may be used to produce a relatively simple and relatively accurate representation of the shape of each part within a respective area, e.g., within a bounding box determined for each part using the 3D point cloud input.

  • Publication number: 20230099463
    Abstract: Various implementations provide a 3D floor plan based on scanning a room and detecting windows, doors, and openings using 2D orthographic projection. Points of a dense set of points (e.g., a dense point cloud) that are close to a plane representing a wall are projected onto the plane and used to identify windows, doors, and opening on the wall. Representations of the detected windows, doors, and openings may then be positioned in a 3D floor plan based on the known position of the wall within the corresponding room, i.e., the location of the wall plane relative to the dense point cloud is known. Other aspects of a 3D floor plan may be detected directly from points of a dense 3D point cloud, windows, doors, and openings may be detected indirectly using projections of the points of the 3D point cloud onto a 2D plane, and the detected aspects may be combined into a single 3D floor plan.
