Abstract:
A system and method for modeling an enclosed space involves measuring ranges and angles between a static vantage point and points on surfaces enclosing the space using a single point time of flight distance measuring device. A computer coupled to the distance measuring device generate virtual surfaces and calculates where the virtual surfaces intersect to generate a geometry for a 3D model representing the surfaces enclosing the space.
