Abstract: System and methods for machine-assisted map editing tools are described. The system includes a machine-learning neural network trained to classify architectural data in a base map and generate a vectorized representation of the architectural data. The base map is presented to a user on a display interface for receiving user input tracing architectural features in the base map. The system then proposes or automatically places polygon objects representing the traced features in an editable map. The editable map may be superimposed on the base map on the display interface as it is drawn. The system may further detect the position of connections, classify enclosed spaces as room types. The machine-assisted map editing tools described herein provide a fast and efficient way for untrained users with no image/map editing experience to trace an architectural base map to generate an editable map of architectural features.

Abstract: A scanning device and methods for generating floorplans by combining different scans of a large area are provided. During scanning, a preview of the scanned area is shown on a display of the scanning device to assist a user to orientate the scanning device to scan the space. The scanning device is further configured to display instructions/prompts to the user to assist in scanning. For example, the device may prompt the user to pause scanning when device memory becomes depleted. A method for generating a floorplan from multiple scans comprises pausing a first scan a reference point and commencing a second scan at the reference. The reference point is used to combine the first scan data and the second scan data to generate an overall floorplan of the scanned space.
