Abstract

See full text

A system for generating an automatically segmented and annotated two-dimensional (2D) map of an environment includes processors coupled to a scanner to convert a 2D map from the scanner into a 2D image. Further, a mapping system categorizes a first set of pixels from the image into one of room-inside, room-outside, and noise by applying a trained neural network to the image. The mapping system further categorizes a first subset of pixels from the first set of pixels based on a room type if the first subset of pixels is categorized as room-inside. The mapping system also determines the room type of a second subset of pixels from the first set of pixels based on the first subset of pixels by using a flooding algorithm. The mapping system further annotates a portion of the 2D map to identify the room type based on the pixels corresponding to the portion.
