    摘要: Systems and methods for surveillance of a facility including facility elements. The system includes a central computing unit providing a digital model of the facility providing topological or logical or functional relationships of the facility elements, surveillance sensors adapted for surveillance of a plurality of the facility elements and for generation of surveillance data, communication means for transmitting data from the surveillance sensors to the central computing unit, and state derivation means configured to analyse the surveillance data and derive a state of a respective facility element. The central computing unit is configured to record a state pattern by combining states of at least one facility element based on at least one relationship of the facility element provided by the facility model, provide a state pattern critical-noncritical classification model which considers relationships provided by the facility model, and perform a criticality-classification based on the relationship.

    摘要: A method edits a property value of a model object for a large-scale capital project. The method displays a 3D model of the large-scale capital project in a graphical user interface. The 3D model has a plurality of model objects. The method selects one or more model objects in the graphical user interface, thereby defining one or more selected model objects. The method also selects one or more properties of the selected model object to view in a graphical overlay, thereby defining one or more selected properties. The method also generates a graphical overlay adjacent to or over each of the one or more selected model objects. The graphical overlay includes values for the one or more selected properties. The method modifies a value of the one or more selected properties in the graphical overlay, thereby defining a modified property value.

    摘要: A method for enhancing images for metrological applications. A first set of first images is provided, wherein the first set comprises at least one first image, the first set representing a scene of interest, and a second set of second images is provided, wherein the second set comprises at least one second image, the second set representing at least a part of the scene of interest. The method comprises the following steps: 1) jointly processing the first set and the second set by a neural network, and 2) outputting a third set of images by the neural network, the third set comprising at least one processed image, from which is determinable the position and/or orientation of the at least one object with a processed precision, wherein the processed precision is equal to or higher than the initial precision.

    摘要: A monitoring system for locating and classifying an event in a monitoring area by a computation unit including a visual 3D capturing unit providing geometric 3D information and an acoustic capturing unit providing an acoustic information of the monitoring area. An event detector is configured with an acoustic channel and a visual channel to detect the event. The acoustic channel is configured to detect the event as a sound event in the acoustic information and to determine a localization of the sound. The visual channel is configured to detect the event as a visual event in the geometric 3D information and to derive a localization of the visual event. The event detector provides detected events with a region of interest for detected event, which is analyzed in order to assign the detected event a class within a plurality of event classes.

    摘要: A method of providing an augmented view of a real world scenery and of an occluded subsurface infrastructure. An image is taken by a camera with an image sensor and image reference information comprising a camera position and a camera orientation. From three dimensional information of a subsurface infrastructure, a two dimensional projection on the image sensor is made by using the reference information. A projection position of an anchor element of the subsurface infrastructure being visible on the at least one image is compared with an image position of the anchor element. A difference between the image position and the projection position is compensated for matching and overlaying the two dimensional projection derived from the three dimensional information of the subsurface infrastructure with the at least one image and thereby providing an improved augmented view.

    摘要: A surveying device with a targeting unit carried by a support, the targeting unit being arranged rotatable relative to a vertical axis and a tilt axis as a first and a second axis of rotation, for emitting a distance measurement beam in an emission direction into free space, the emission direction being variable with respect to the vertical axis and the tilt axis. The device further comprises a beam deflection element such as a partially transparent rotatable mirror, situated in the targeting unit and being rotatable about a deflection axis as a third axis of rotation. The deflection axis is congruent to the tilt axis and the beam deflection element is arranged in such a way in the distance measurement beam path that the emission direction can be varied with respect to the deflection axis.

    摘要: A large-scale capital project simulator has a project modeler configured to model the project as a virtual model having cable trays directing cables across the large-scale capital project. The simulator also has a cable router to lay out cables across the virtual model of the large-scale capital project. Each cable has a laid-out cable length. The simulator also has a routing manager to determine optimized routes of the cables across the virtual model. In this case, each cable has an optimized cable length along at least one of the optimized routes. The routing manager formulates an effectiveness ratio for each cable, where each effectiveness ratio uses the laid-out cable length and the optimized cable length. A filter determines whether any of the effectiveness ratios exceeds a prescribed deviation amount. A model controller transforms the virtual model to identify cable(s) exceeding the prescribed deviation amount.
