Abstract
An inventory system methodology is presented including generating a three dimensional computer representation of an environment using a camera of a mobile device, converting the three dimensional computer representation of the environment into a two dimensional electronic map, scanning, with a scanner that is coupled to the mobile device, a radio frequency identification (RFID) tag, which is coupled to an item that is in the environment, determining a location of the RFID tag based on a location of the scanner in the three dimensional computer representation of the environment when the scanning occurred, and indicating the location of the item, based on the location of the RFID tag, on the two dimensional electronic map.
