Abstract

Three-dimensional (3D) maps may be generated for different areas based on scans of the areas using sensor(s) of a mobile computing device. During each scan, locations of the mobile computing device can be measured relative to a fixed-positioned smart device using ultra-wideband communication (UWB). The 3D maps for the areas may be registered to the fixed position (i.e., anchor position) of the smart device based on the location measurements acquired during the scan so that the 3D maps can be merged into a combined 3D map. The combined (i.e., merged) 3D map may then be used to facilitate location-specific operation of the mobile computing device or other smart device.
