A method includes detecting an initialization position of a processing zone within a graphical user interface, the processing zone having boundaries and a predefined direction extending away from the initialization position, the graphical user interface comprising displayed point cloud data, the displayed point cloud data being based on a scanning of a three dimensional space. The method also includes applying a Kalman filter to the track points to identify a trajectory of a guideway and generating a model of the guideway based on the track points and the trajectory. The method further includes detecting one or more of a turnout region or an object associated with the guideway. The method additionally includes generating a map comprising the model of the guideway and one or more of the turnout region or the object, and at least one label identifying the turnout region or the object included in the map.
