Abstract: A method for automatically determining quality of registration of landmarks includes training an artificial intelligence (AI) system to detect inaccurate registration of landmarks. Training the AI system uses training data that includes scans of an environment captured by a 3D measuring device from corresponding scan points. A first scan is registered with at least a second scan based on one or more landmarks captured in the first scan and the second scan. Further, a model is created to identify incorrect registration by analyzing the training data. The analysis detects a mismatch in a first instance of a landmark in the first scan and a second instance of said landmark in the second scan. The model is then used to evaluate registration of landmarks in live data, the live data including a set of scans, the result identifying accuracy level of the registration of landmarks.

Abstract: A mobile three-dimensional (3D) measuring system includes a 3D measuring device configured to capture 3D data in a multi-level architecture, and an orientation sensor configured to estimate an altitude. One or more processing units coupled with the 3D measuring device and the orientation sensor perform a method that includes receiving a first portion of the 3D data captured by the 3D measuring device. The method further includes determining a level index based on the altitude. The level index indicates a level of the multi-level architecture at which the first portion is captured. The level index is associated with the first portion. Further, a map of the multi-level architecture is generated using the first portion, the generating comprises registering the first portion with a second portion of the 3D data responsive to the level index of the first portion being equal to the level index of the second portion.

Abstract: A method is provided that includes recording a landmark at a first scan position of a scanner, the landmark based at least in part on a semantic feature of scan data captured by the scanner. The semantic feature is identified using line-segments of the scan data. The method further includes capturing, by the scanner while moving through the environment, additional scan data at a second scan position. The method further includes, responsive to the scanner returning to the first scan position associated with the landmark, computing a measurement error. The method further includes correcting, using the measurement error, at least a portion of the scan data or the additional scan data.
