Abstract
A method is provided that includes generating a four-dimensional (4D) model of an environment based on three-dimensional (3D) coordinates of the environment captured at a first point in time. The method further includes updating the 4D model based at least in part to an update to at least a subset of the 3D coordinates of the environment captured at a second point in time. The method further includes enriching the 4D model by adding supplemental information to the model.
