Abstract

Disclosed are methods and systems for generating three-dimensional reconstructions of environments. A system, for example, may include a housing having an image sensor directed in a first direction and a distance sensor directed in a second direction and a control unit including a processor and a memory storing instructions. The processor may be configured to execute the instructions to: generate a first 3D model of an environment; generate a plurality of revolved 3D models by revolving the first 3D model relative to the image sensor to a plurality of positions within a predetermined angular range; match a set of distance values to one of the revolved 3D models; determine an angular position of the second direction relative to the first direction; and generate a 3D reconstruction of the environment.
