Abstract

Systems and methods for determining room types for regions of a map are provided. One example method includes determining, by a client computing device, a current location of the client computing device. The method includes obtaining, by the client computing device, one or more audio samples describing ambient audio around the client computing device. The method includes analyzing, by the client computing device, the one or more audio samples to identify one or more room characteristics associated with the current location of the client computing device. A room type is identified for a room associated with the current location of the client computing device based at least in part on the one or more room characteristics. One example system includes a plurality of client computing devices and one or more server computing devices.
