Abstract: Techniques are described for using computing devices to perform automated operations for automatically generating information about attributes of buildings from automated analysis of building information that includes floor plans and acquired building images and to subsequently using the generated building information in one or more further automated manners. In some situations, such automated generation of building information includes automatically determining objects in a building and other attributes of the building, and automatically generating descriptions about the determined building attributes. Information about such determined attributes and generated descriptions may be used in various automated manners, including for updating and/or validating information in existing building descriptions, for determining matching buildings that have similarities to indicated building descriptions or other specified criteria, for controlling device navigation (e.g.

Abstract: Techniques are described for using computing devices to perform automated operations for using generated building information to further generate and present visual data enhancements on images that are captured by and displayed on a mobile device in the building (e.g., concurrent with capture of the images by a camera of the mobile device, such as in a real-time or near-real-time manner with respect to image capture), such as using descriptive information about a building that is generated from analysis of acquired building images and optionally other building information (e.g., floor plans), and such as to improve navigation of the building (e.g., for autonomous vehicles) and provide other functionality as the mobile device moves through the building. The descriptive building information may include structural elements and other objects identified in the building and other determined attributes of the building, and automatically generated textual descriptions of the objects and other attributes.
