Abstract
Techniques are described for automated operations related to analyzing visual data from images captured in rooms of a building and optionally additional captured data about the rooms to assess room layout and other usability information for the building's rooms and optionally for the overall building, and to subsequently using the assessed usability information in one or more further automated manners, such as to improve navigation of the building. The automated operations may include identifying one or more objects in each of the rooms to assess, evaluating one or more target attributes of each object, assessing usability of each object using its target attributes' evaluations and each room using its objects' assessment and other room information with respect to an indicated purpose, and combining the assessments of multiple rooms in a building and other building information to assess usability of the building with respect to its indicated purpose.
