GRIHA: Synthesizing 2-Dimensional Building Layouts from Images Captured using a Smart Phone
Reconstructing an indoor scene and generating a layout/floor plan in 3D or 2D
is a widely known problem. Quite a few algorithms have been proposed in the
literature recently. However, most existing methods either use RGB-D images,
thus requiring a depth camera, or depending on panoramic photos, assuming that
there is little to no occlusion in the rooms. In this work, we proposed GRIHA
(Generating Room Interior of a House using ARCore), a framework for generating
a layout using an RGB image captured using a simple mobile phone camera. We
take advantage of Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM) to assess the 3D
transformations required for layout generation. SLAM technology is built-in in
recent mobile libraries such as ARCore by Google. Hence, the proposed method is
fast and efficient. It gives the user freedom to generate layout by merely
taking a few conventional photos, rather than relying on specialized depth
hardware or occlusion-free panoramic images. We have compared GRIHA with other
existing methods and obtained superior results. Also, the system is tested on
multiple hardware platforms to test the dependency and efficiency.Comment: 19 pages, 22 Figures, 4 Table
