Abstract
Techniques are described for automated operations related to analyzing visual data from images captured in rooms of a building and optionally additional captured data about the rooms to assess room layout and other usability information for the building's rooms and optionally for the overall building, and to subsequently using the assessed usability information in one or more further automated manners, such as to improve navigation of the building. The automated operations may include identifying one or more objects in each of the rooms to assess and one or more target attributes of each object, and generating and providing instructions to cause the capture of images and optionally additional data about those objects and target attributes for further automated analysis, such as instructions provided to an automated image acquisition device in the room and/or an associated user. Once received, the captured images and other data is then analyzed accordingly.
