Abstract

A method for updating a digital representation of an environment includes capturing an image of a portion of the environment using a change-detection device. Further, a corresponding digital data is determined that represents the portion in the digital representation of the environment. A change in the portion is detected by comparing the image with the corresponding digital data. In response to the change being above a predetermined threshold, the method includes initiating a resource-intensive scan of the portion using a scanning device, and updating the digital representation of the environment by replacing the corresponding digital data representing the portion with the resource-intensive scan.
