Aspects of the present invention include an apparatus and method for mapping objects behind an opaque surface, comprising, generating location data by a location tracker, the location data includes pairs of horizontal and vertical location data relative to a point of reference; collecting sensor data, by a sensor device, of the objects behind the opaque surface corresponding to the location data in parallel, the sensor device comprises one or more sensors and is tracked by the location tracker; storing, in a memory, the sensor data and the location data; analyzing, by one or more processors, the sensor data and the location data to identify information about the objects, comprising analyzing signal density of the objects using the sensor data and the location data, and informing the user potential hazards using the signal density of the objects; and communicating, via a user interface, the information about the objects to a user.

Mapping objects behind an opaque surface using signal density

Aspects of the present invention include an apparatus and method for mapping objects behind an opaque surface, comprising, generating location data by a location tracker, where the location data includes pairs of horizontal and vertical location data relative to a point of reference that is linked to the opaque surface; collecting sensor data corresponding to the location data in parallel, by a sensor device comprising one or more sensors and held by the location tracker, of the objects behind the opaque surface along a programmed scan path; storing, in a memory, the sensor data and the location data; analyzing, by one or more processors, the sensor data and the location data to identify information about the objects behind the opaque surface; and communicating, via a user interface, the information about the objects behind the opaque surface to a user.
