Abstract
In this paper, we present a novel smartphone application designed to easily
capture, visualize and reconstruct homes, offices and other indoor scenes. Our
application leverages data from smartphone sensors such as the camera,
accelerometer, gyroscope and magnetometer to help model the indoor scene. The
output of the system is two-fold; first, an interactive visual tour of the scene is
generated in real time that allows the user to explore each room and transition
between connected rooms. Second, with some basic interactive photogrammetric
modeling the system generates a 2D floor plan and accompanying 3D model of the
scene, under a Manhattan-world assumption. The approach does not require any
specialized equipment or training and is able to produce accurate floor plans.
