1. A computer system, comprising:
- one or more processors; and
,one or more non-transitory computer readable medium accessible by the one or more processors and storing instructions that when executed by the one or more processors cause the one or more processors to;
access data indicative of a floor plan of a structure, the floor plan having a first room comprising a first set of walls and a first floor between the walls in the first set of walls, a second room comprising a second set of walls and a second floor between the walls in the second set of walls; and
access a set of image data depicting the first set of walls and the first floor of the first room and the second set of walls and the second floor of the second room;
wherein the instructions, when executed by the processor, further cause the processor to generate one or more output signals indicative of a multi-3D perspective floor plan created from the floor plan and portions of the set of image data, the multi-3D perspective floor plan having;
a first 3D fitted representation of real-life physical characteristics of the first set of walls and the first floor of the first room, the first 3D fitted representation generated by extracting each wall of the first set of walls a distance inward from an outline of the first room and resizing the first floor to accommodate the extracted walls such that real life physical characteristics within and on each wall of the first set of walls is visually represented without obscuring the first floor when viewed from a first perspective having a first viewing direction extending from a first viewing location; and
,a second 3D fitted representation of real-life physical characteristics of the second set of walls and the second floor of the second room, the second 3D fitted representation generated by extracting each wall of the second set of walls a distance inward from an outline of the second room and resizing the second floor to accommodate the extracted walls such that real life physical characteristics within and on each wall of the second set of walls is visually represented without obscuring the second floor when viewed from a second perspective having a second viewing direction extending from a second viewing location,wherein at least one of the first viewing direction differs from the second viewing direction, and the first viewing location differs from the second viewing location.

14. An automated method of generating a multi-3D perspective floor plan of a structure performed by a processor of a computer system, comprising:
-
generating a first 3D fitted representation of real-life physical characteristics of a first set of walls and the first floor of a first room, the first 3D fitted representation generated by extracting each wall of the first set of walls a distance inward from an outline of the first room and resizing a first floor to accommodate the extracted walls such that real life physical characteristics within and on each wall of the first set of walls is visually represented without obscuring the first floor when viewed from a first perspective having a first viewing direction extending from a first viewing location; and generating a second 3D fitted representation of real-life physical characteristics of a second set of walls and a second floor of a second room, the second 3D fitted representation generated by extracting each wall of the second set of walls a distance inward from an outline of the second room and resizing the second floor to accommodate the extracted walls such that real life physical characteristics within and on each wall of the second set of walls is visually represented without obscuring the second floor when viewed from a second perspective having a second viewing direction extending from a second viewing location; wherein at least one of the first viewing direction differs from the second viewing direction, and the first viewing location differs from the second viewing location. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17)

18. A computerized system, comprising:
a computer system storing a database of multi-3D perspective floor plans of structures with corresponding geo-location data identifying the structures within the database, the structures having one or more room(s) comprising a set of walls and a floor between the walls and the multi-3D perspective floor plans are generated by extracting each wall of the set of walls a distance inward from an outline of a room and resizing the floor to accommodate the extracted walls such that real life physical characteristics within and on each wall of the set of walls is visually represented without obscuring the floor when viewed from a perspective having a viewing direction extending from a viewing location, the computer system further having computer executable logic that when executed by a processor causes the computer system to receive a geographic point from a user, search the database to find at least one multi-3D perspective floor plan that corresponds to the geographic point, and make the multi-3D perspective floor plan that contains the geographic point available to the user.
