Patent number: 10030979Abstract: Systems and techniques for determining and/or generating a navigation path through a three-dimensional (3D) model are presented. At least one waypoint location within a captured 3D model of an architectural environment is determined. A path within the captured 3D model, to navigate between a first location associated with the captured 3D model and a second location associated with the captured 3D model, is determined based on the at least one waypoint location. Visual data indicative of 2D data or 3D data of the captured 3D model along the path is transmitted to a remote client device to simulate navigation of the path within the captured 3D model between the first location and the second location.Type: GrantFiled: July 29, 2016Date of Patent: July 24, 2018Assignee: Matterport, Inc.Inventors: Kevin Allen Bjorke, Matthew Tschudy Bell

Patent number: 10026224Abstract: Systems and techniques for processing and/or transmitting three-dimensional (3D) data are presented. A partitioning component receives captured 3D data associated with a 3D model of an interior environment and partitions the captured 3D data into at least one data chunk associated with at least a first level of detail and a second level of detail. A data component stores 3D data including at least the first level of detail and the second level of detail for the at least one data chunk. An output component transmits a portion of data from the at least one data chunk that is associated with the first level of detail or the second level of detail to a remote client device based on information associated with the first level of detail and the second level of detail.Type: GrantFiled: June 20, 2016Date of Patent: July 17, 2018Assignee: Matterport, Inc.Inventors: Matthew Tschudy Bell, David Alan Gausebeck, Gregory William Coombe, Daniel Ford

Patent number: 9953111Abstract: Systems and techniques for processing three-dimensional (3D) data are presented. Captured three-dimensional (3D) data associated with a 3D model of an architectural environment is received and at least a portion of the captured 3D data associated with a flat surface is identified. Furthermore, missing data associated with the portion of the captured 3D data is identified and additional 3D data for the missing data is generated based on other data associated with the portion of the captured 3D data.Type: GrantFiled: June 6, 2014Date of Patent: April 24, 2018Assignee: Matterport, Inc.Inventors: Matthew Tschudy Bell, David Alan Gausebeck, Daniel Ford, Gregory William Coombe

Patent number: 9786097Abstract: The present disclosure concerns a methodology that allows a user to “orbit” around a model on a specific axis of rotation and view an orthographic floor plan of the model. A user may view and “walk through” the model while staying at a specific height above the ground with smooth transitions between orbiting, floor plan, and walking modes.Type: GrantFiled: June 24, 2013Date of Patent: October 10, 2017Assignee: Matterport, Inc.Inventors: Matthew Bell, Michael Beebe

Patent number: 9760994Abstract: The capture and alignment of multiple 3D scenes is disclosed. Three dimensional capture device data from different locations is received thereby allowing for different perspectives of 3D scenes. An algorithm uses the data to determine potential alignments between different 3D scenes via coordinate transformations. Potential alignments are evaluated for quality and subsequently aligned subject to the existence of sufficiently high relative or absolute quality. A global alignment of all or most of the input 3D scenes into a single coordinate frame may be achieved. The presentation of areas around a particular hole or holes takes place thereby allowing the user to capture the requisite 3D scene containing areas within the hole or holes as well as part of the surrounding area using, for example, the 3D capture device. The new 3D captured scene is aligned with existing 3D scenes and/or 3D composite scenes.Type: GrantFiled: October 13, 2016Date of Patent: September 12, 2017Assignee: Matterport, Inc.Inventors: Matthew Bell, David Gausebeck
