Abstract

System and method are provided for scaling a 3-D representation of a building structure. The method includes obtaining images of the building structure, including non-camera anchors. The method also includes identifying reference poses for images based on the non-camera anchors. The method also includes obtaining world map data including real-world poses for the images. The method also includes selecting candidate poses from the real-world poses based on corresponding reference poses. The method also includes calculating a scaling factor for a 3-D representation of the building structure based on correlating the reference poses with the selected candidate poses. Some implementations use structure from motion techniques or LiDAR, in addition to augmented reality frameworks, for scaling the 3-D representations of the building structure. In some implementations, the world map data includes environmental data, such as illumination data, and the method includes generating or displaying the 3-D representation.
