Abstract

System and methods for generating a model of an environment are provided. In some aspects, a system includes a layer module configured to identify one or more layers of the environment based on a plurality of three-dimensional (3D) points mapping the environment. The system also includes a layout module configured to generate a layout for each layer. Each layout includes a two-dimensional (2D) model of the environment. The system also includes a construction module configured to generate a 3D model of the environment based on the 2D model of each layout.
