1. A system configured to enable three-dimensional localization and mapping;

  • the system comprising;

    a mobile device comprising;

    an inertial measurement unit; and

    a three-dimensional image capture device; and

    a computing device comprising a processor programmed to;

    receive a first set of inertial measurement information from the inertial measurement unit;

    determine a first current position and orientation of the mobile device based on a defined position and orientation of the mobile device and the first set of inertial measurement information;

    receive three-dimensional image data of the environment from the three-dimensional image capture device;

    determine a second current position and orientation of the mobile device based on the received three-dimensional image data and the first current position and orientation of the mobile device; and

    generate a three-dimensional representation of an environment with respect to the second current position and orientation of the mobile device.
