Abstract
Systems and methods for generating maps for retail environments and other indoor locations, such as via autonomous or other automatic processes, are described. In some embodiments, the systems and methods access images of a retail environment captured via multiple security cameras placed within the retail environment, and generate a two- or three-dimensional digital, virtual and/or interactive map that depicts a layout of the retail environment based on features extracted from the accessed images. For example, the systems and methods may extract and/or determine walkable paths within the images, and generate a two- or three-dimensional map that is based on placing the walkable paths within the retail environment.
