Title: Configuration method for the display of a building information model
Inventor: UMAR AHMED
IPC: G06T19/00
Filed: 2021-04-01
Abstract: Certain examples described herein present a method of configuring a headset for display of a building information model (BIM) at a construction site. In one example, the method includes determining a pose of the headset using a positioning system, the positioning system having a set of sensor devices coupled to the headset, the positioning system determines the pose of the headset with respect to an origin of a coordinate system used by the positioning system and obtains an image of a two-dimensional marker positioned within the construction site, the image being obtained by a camera coupled to the headset. The two-dimensional marker is positioned with respect to known positions within a coordinate system of the building information model and a BIM-to-camera transformation between an origin of a coordinate system used by the building information model and an origin of the coordinate system of the camera based on a location of the two-dimensional marker within the image is determined. A camera-to-positioning transformation between the origin of the coordinate system used by the camera and an origin of the coordinate system used by the positioning system based on a specification of the spatial relationship between the headset and the camera is then determined and a BIM-to-positioning transformation between the coordinate system used by the positioning system and the coordinate system used by the building information model based on the BIM-to-camera transformation and the camera-to-positioning transformation is then determined. The BIM-to-positioning transformation is used to map the building information model to the coordinate system used by the positioning system to display the building information model in a display of the headset as viewed from the pose of the headset determined using the positioning system.
