Planitar Inc. — vendor of the iGUIDE system that can scan a room to create a floor plan as well as 360-degree image capture — announced an add-on service called iGUIDE Preview. Using computer vision and machine learning AI, "Planitar customers will now receive access to iGUIDE 3D tour with interactive floor plan within minutes of uploading project files," a company press release said.

"The combination of 360° images and 2D LiDAR scans produced by the iGUIDE PLANIX camera system was designed to balance fast capture with rich visuals and accurate floor plan data," said Alexander Likholyot, CEO of Planitar in the release. "This unique sensor fusion greatly increases reliability of AI predictions and accuracy of automatic floor plan generation compared to floor plans generated from 360° images alone. When combined with Planitar's capability to rapidly curate sizable, uniquely annotated property datasets, we have been able to materially advance our core technology offering."

The company claims that the machine learning systems can let users scan a property and receive the interactive floor plan and virtual tour before leaving.
