Abstract

An example method includes determining a point cloud representation of surfaces within an environment. The method further includes providing for display of a graphical interface that shows a model of the surfaces within the environment based on the point cloud representation. The method additionally includes receiving input data indicating one or more positions for one or more virtual sensors on the graphical interface corresponding to one or more physical positions within the environment. The method also includes determining one or more occluded regions within the environment, where the one or more occluded regions are predicted to be occluded from view by one or more sensors positioned at the one or more physical positions within the environment. The method also includes providing for display in the graphical interface of a graphical representation of the one or more occluded regions within the model of the surfaces within the environment.
