Abstract
Techniques are described for using computing devices to perform automated operations to generate mapping information via analysis of visual data of photos of a defined area, and for using the generated mapping information in further automated manners, including to display the generated mapping information via various types of visualizations corresponding graphical user interfaces. In some situations, the defined area includes an interior of a multi-room building, and the generated information includes at least a partial floor plan and/or other modeled representation of the building—in addition, the generating may be further performed without having measured depth information about distances from the photos' acquisition locations to walls or other objects in the surrounding building. The generated floor plan and/or other mapping-related information may be further used in various manners, including for controlling navigation of devices (e.g., autonomous vehicles), etc.
