Abstract

Systems, methods, and non-transitory computer readable media are disclosed that include operations to generate a virtual representation of a physical location with spatially localized information related to elements within the location being embedded in the virtual representation. The operations includes receiving description data (e.g., a plurality of images and videos) of the location, the description data being generated via at least one of a camera, a user interface; receive metadata associated elements within the location; generating (e.g., offline or in real-time), via a machine learning model and/or a geometric model, a 3-dimensional (3D) model of the location and elements therein; and generating, based on the 3D model of the location, an information-rich virtual representation of the location by annotating the 3D model with spatially localized metadata associated with the elements within the location and semantic information of the elements.
