Abstract

An indoor scene capture system is provided that, with a handheld device with a camera, collects videos of rooms, spatially indexes the frames of the videos, marks doorways between rooms, and collects videos of transitions from room to room via doorways. The indoor scene capture system may assign a direction to at least some of the frames based on the angle of rotation as determined by an inertial sensor (e.g., gyroscope) of the handheld device. The indoor scene capture system marks doorways within the frames of the videos. For each doorway between rooms, the indoor scene capture system collects a video of transitioning through the doorway as the camera moves from the point within a room through the doorway to a point within the adjoining room.
