Title: Method for integrating photographic images and BIM data
Inventor: ROBERT ALLEN
IPC: G06T19/00
Filed: 2017-08-01
Abstract: Method, for generating an integrated image combining a photograph of a construction site, taken by an on-site fixed-position camera, and an image generated from a building information model (BIM), comprising: acquiring a reference image from the on-site fixed position camera; acquiring details of the BIM geometry from a server; defining a virtual camera corresponding to the on-site fixed-position camera; storing alignment data, for aligning the virtual camera with the on-site fixed position camera, in a database; and subsequently: overlaying a BIM image created from current BIM data over an image acquired from the on-site fixed position camera, wherein the BIM image and acquired image are aligned, to generate the integrated image. Current BIM image may be rendered from the perspective of the virtual camera. Parameters such as position in 3D space, orientation or rotation about three mutually orthogonal axes, viewpoint and field of view of the virtual camera may be adjusted. Alignment data may be generated by adjusting virtual camera parameters until BIM image features align with corresponding reference image features. Alignment may be manual or performed by image processing. Reference image overlay may be semi-transparent. Real images and rendered images may be captured and rendered at predetermined times.

Title: Monitoring a speed determination system
Inventor: ASHLEY BIDMEAD
IPC: G01S19/52
Filed: 2019-12-18
Abstract: An aircraft monitoring system 100 has a processor receiving speed data 112 from a speed determination system 108 and determines whether a correspondence condition of data received from the speed determination system corresponding to a predetermined behaviour characteristic 116 associated with a second speed measurement system is satisfied; if satisfied then determining that a first speed measurement system is in an error condition 120. Preferably, the first system determines a time-varying speed measurement based on GPS data, the second system based on accelerometer data. If the first system is not in error, the GPS data may be used to determine the aircraft speed. The second system may have an integrator which amplifies an error value of the characteristic over time, and the monitoring system determines whether error amplification is exhibited. Preferably, the predetermined characteristic is the rate of change of acceleration, a second rate of change of acceleration is determined from the retrieved speed data, and the correspondence determination process checks these values against one another. A series of five or more speed values may be taken at 200ms or less apart.
