Abstract: Provided are embodiments of a method for performing automatic analysis of cross-sections of micro-channels. Embodiments includes receiving tomography scan data, aligning the tomography scan data, and extracting channels from a slice of the tomography scan data to create an isolated slice of the extracted channel. Embodiments also include determining surface voxels for the extracted channels, and determining an area defined within the surface voxels for each of the extracted channels. Embodiments include determining a contribution of the surface voxels for each of the extracted channels to the cross-section of the extracted channels, and outputting cross-section information based on the contribution of the surface voxels. Also provided are embodiments of a system for performing automatic analysis of cross-sections of micro-channels.

Abstract: A system and method for detecting construction site defects and hazards using artificial intelligence (AI) is provided. The system includes a movable base unit, a coordinate measurement scanner, a vision based sensor, and one or more processors. The one or more processors perform operations that include generating a two-dimensional (2D) map of the environment based at least in part on output from the coordinate measurement scanner, applying image recognition to the video stream data to identify and label a defect or hazard in the video data stream, correlating a location of the defect or hazard in the video stream data with the location in the 2D map, and recording the location of the defect or hazard in the 2D map.

Abstract: Provided are embodiments for a device and method for measuring three-dimensional (3D) coordinates. Embodiments include a projector having a projector optical axis on a first plane, the projector operable to project a collection of laser beams on a surface of an object, and a first camera having a first-camera optical axis on the first plane, the first camera operable to capture a first image of the collection of laser beams on the surface of the object. Embodiments also include one or more processors, the one or more processors are operable to generate a first distance profile for the object using a first laser beam of the collection of laser beams and generate a second distance profile for the object using a second laser beam of the collection of laser beams, estimate the velocity of the object based on the first and second distance profile, and provide the estimated velocity.

Abstract: A method that includes providing a database for storing meta-data that describes steps in a workflow and an order of the steps in the workflow. The meta-data includes, for each of the steps: a description of an input data file for the step; a description of a transaction performed at the step; and a description of an output data file generated by the step based at least in part on applying the transaction to the input data file. Data that includes meta-data for a step in the workflow is received and the data is stored in the database. A trace of the workflow is generated based at least in part on contents of the database. The generating is based on receiving a request from a requestor for the trace of the workflow. At least a subset of the trace is output to the requestor.

Abstract: A system and method of generating a two-dimensional image of an environment is provided. The system includes a 2D scanner that comprises a light source, an image sensor and a controller. The controller determines a distance value to at least one of the object points. An inertial measurement unit is coupled to the scanner and has a first sensor. The first sensor has a first characteristic. A mobile computing device is removably coupled to the 2D scanner, the mobile computing device having a second sensor, the second sensor having a second characteristic. Processors are provided that are responsive to compare the first characteristic and the second characteristic and select one of the first or second sensor based on the comparison. The processors are further generate an image of the environment based on a signal from the selected first or second sensor.

Abstract: A dimensional measuring device includes an overview camera and a triangulation scanner. A six-DOF tracking device tracks the dimensional measuring device as the triangulation scanner measures three-dimensional (3D) coordinates on an exterior of the object. Cardinal points identified by the overview camera are used to register in a common frame of reference 3D coordinates measured by the triangulation scanner on the interior and exterior of the object.
