1. A method of evaluating near range communications quality in an environment, the method comprising:

  • obtaining 3D data describing an environment from a first data source;

    processing the 3D data describing the environment to generate a ground-plane data set describing a ground-plane of the environment, and a 3D object data set describing 3D objects in the environment, wherein processing the 3D data comprises selecting 3D data to extract from the first data source to generate the ground-plane data set and the 3D object data set;

    obtaining 2D data describing the environment from a second data source, and selecting 2D data from the second data source to combine with the ground-plane data set and/or the 3D object data set to improve the ground-plane data set and/or 3D object data set;

    using the ground-plane data set and the 3D object data set to compute a propagation path between a first location and a second location in the environment, andcomputing a near range communications quality characteristic of the propagation path.
