AUTONOMOUS SCANNING AND MAPPING SYSTEM

An amusement park attraction mapping system includes a sensing system configured to be disposed within an environment of an amusement park attraction, a positioning system coupled to the sensing system, and a controller communicatively coupled to the sensing system and the positioning system. The sensing system is configured to capture scanning data of the environment, and the scanning data includes virtual points representative of objects in the environment. The positioning system is configured to move the sensing system within the environment. Further, the controller is configured to determine target scanning data to be captured by the sensing system, output a first control signal to instruct the positioning system to move the sensing system to a target position based on the target scanning data, and output a second control signal to instruct the sensing system to capture the scanning data at the target position.
