Abstract: A method for measuring and registering 3D coordinates has a 3D scanner measure a first collection of 3D coordinates of points from a first registration position and a second collection of 3D coordinates of points from a second registration position. In between these positions, the 3D measuring device collects depth-camera images. A processor determines first and second translation values and a first rotation value based on the depth-camera images. The processor identifies a correspondence among registration targets in the first and second collection of 3D coordinates based at least in part on the first and second translation values and the first rotation value. The processor uses this correspondence and the first and second collection of 3D coordinates to determine 3D coordinates of a registered 3D collection of points.

Abstract: A system for generating an automatically segmented and annotated two-dimensional (2D) map of an environment includes processors coupled to a scanner to convert a 2D map from the scanner into a 2D image. Further, a mapping system categorizes a first set of pixels from the image into one of room-inside, room-outside, and noise by applying a trained neural network to the image. The mapping system further categorizes a first subset of pixels from the first set of pixels based on a room type if the first subset of pixels is categorized as room-inside. The mapping system also determines the room type of a second subset of pixels from the first set of pixels based on the first subset of pixels by using a flooding algorithm. The mapping system further annotates a portion of the 2D map to identify the room type based on the pixels corresponding to the portion.
