ABSTRACT:
A micropower impulse radar is used to take measurements, such as those needed to establish room size and the dimensions and location of objects within the walls of a room. A computer controls the scanning of the radar and the collection of datapoints. A global positioning satellite (GPS) unit locates the precise portion of the radar and another unit loads a fixed referenced location to which all measurements from different rooms are baselined. By collecting points and referencing them to a common point or wireframe representation of a building can be developed from which "as built" architectural plans can be produced.
