  • Patent number: 10872467
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure disclose a method for data collection and model generation of a house. According to the method, when a model of a house is to be established, both collected depth images of the house and pictures of the house are acquired. A virtual three-dimensional model of the house is created by using the depth images, and a panoramic image of a functional space is generated by using the pictures. When a user needs to learn about the structure of the house, the user can view the virtual three-dimensional model created from the depth images; and when the user needs to learn about specific details of a functional space, the user can view the panoramic image of the functional space. The details of a functional space of the house can be displayed, and the structure of the house can be displayed as well, which helps the user to fully learn about the house.
