This is definitely a thought I have considered. It could potentially ease lot of hassle related to 3D scanning of houses by real-estate companies. Very often, those scans require expensive equipment, professional expertise to use those equipment and considerable time and effort to capture the entire residence. Even then,you will find many holes in those scans and floating debris. With our work, one only needs a sketch of the floorplan and photos taken from that house. Plan2Scene will use data to infer appearance of unseen surfaces.

For instance, look at this sample 3d scanned house: https://matterport.com/en-gb/media/2486. Make sure to switch to the doll-house view from the toolbar. There are many holes in the scan.
