Abstract
A method of defining a region of interest in a floor plan document including identifying a point within the region of interest, identifying notations in the floor plan document potentially indicative of walls near the identified point, and identifying notations in the floor plan document potentially indicative of protrusions from the walls near the identified point. The method also includes determining whether the notations potentially indicative of protrusions from the walls are part of the perimeter of the region of interest based on at least one criteria selected from a group consisting of size, shape, and location of the notation potentially indicative of a protrusion, defining the perimeter of the region of interest based on the notations determined to be part of the perimeter of the region of interest, and calculating a quantity associated with the region of interest based on the defined perimeter of the region of interest.
