I'm looking for software or an online service that can take multiple photos of the inside of a house and create a 2D or 3D floor plan. Such software has been under development by the computer vision research scientists since the 1990s. I've seen it demonstrated. Is such software now available to consumers?

Does not really appear to be on-topic. diy.stackexchange.com/faq – The Evil Greebo Mar 19 '12 at 12:03
I agree this is off-topic. I have seen an impressive demo of this that used the Microsoft Kinect sensor to make a 3D rendering of a room by simply scanning it. – auujay Mar 19 '12 at 13:39
How can making 2D or 3D plans of a house be off-topic? I need the plans so I can do home rennovations. – vy32 Mar 19 '12 at 17:25
Mainly because DIY is a topic area dealing with doing work with your hands, not software. – The Evil Greebo Mar 19 '12 at 20:04
Well, okay, but I want to use the software so I can get house plans for doing renovations, which is DIY. I don't want to hire someone to draft the plans. – vy32 Mar 20 '12 at 0:01
