Abstract

Systems and methods for estimating a layout of a room are disclosed. The room layout can comprise the location of a floor, one or more walls, and a ceiling. In one aspect, a neural network can analyze an image of a portion of a room to determine the room layout. The neural network can comprise a convolutional neural network having an encoder sub-network, a decoder sub-network, and a side sub-network. The neural network can determine a three-dimensional room layout using two-dimensional ordered keypoints associated with a room type. The room layout can be used in applications such as augmented or mixed reality, robotics, autonomous indoor navigation, etc.
