    摘要: The present disclosure relates to improvements in systems and methods in acquiring images via imaging devices, where such imaging devices can be configured, in some implementations, with an unmanned aerial vehicle or other vehicle types, as well as being hand-held. Images are acquired from the imaging devices according to capture plans where useful information types about a structure of interest (or objects, items, etc.) can be derived from a structure image acquisition event. Images acquired from capture plans can be evaluated to generate improvements in capture plans for use in subsequent structure image acquisition events. Capture plans provided herein generate accurate information as to all or part of the structure of interest, where accuracy is in relation to the real-life structure incorporated in the acquired images.

    摘要: Various examples are provided related to systems and processes for generating verified wireframes corresponding to at least part of a structure or element of interest can be generated from 2D images, 3D representations (e.g., a point cloud), or a combination thereof. The wireframe can include one or more features that correspond to a structural aspect of the structure or element of interest. The verification can comprise projecting or overlaying the generated wireframe over selected 2D images and/or a point cloud that incorporates the one or more features. The wireframe can be adjusted by a user and/or a computer to align the 2D images and/or 3D representations thereto, thereby generating a verified wireframe including at least a portion of the structure or element of interest. The verified wireframes can be used to generate wireframe models, measurement information, reports, construction estimates or the like.

    摘要: The inventions herein relate generally to improvements in photogrammetry and devices suitable for obtaining such improvements. Some embodiments use only a single passive image-capture device to obtain overlapping 2D images, where such images at least partially overlap with regard to at least one object of interest in a scene. Such images can be processed using methods incorporating structure from motion algorithms. Accurate 3D digital representations of the at least one object of interest can be obtained. Substantially accurate measurements and other useful information regarding the at least one object of interest are obtainable from the methodology herein.

    摘要: Examples of various method and systems are provided for information extraction from scene information. 2D image information can be generated from 2D images of the scene that are overlapping at least part of one or more object(s). The 2D image information can be combined with 3D information about the scene incorporating at least part of the object(s) to generate projective geometry information. Clustered 3D information associated with the object(s) can be generated by partitioning and grouping 3D data points present in the 3D information. The clustered 3D information can be used to provide, e.g., measurement information, dimensions, geometric information, and/or topological information about the object(s). Segmented 2D information can also be generated from the 2D image information. Validated 2D and 3D information can be produced by cross-referencing between the projective geometry information, clustered 3D information, and/or segmented 2D image information, and used to label the object(s) in the scene.

    摘要: The inventions herein relate generally to improvements in the generation of wireframe renderings derived from 2D and/or 3D data that includes at least one structure of interest in a scene. Such wireframe renderings and similar formats can be used in, among other things, 2D/3D CAD drawings, designs, drafts, models, building information models, augmented reality or virtual reality, and the like. Measurements, dimensions, geometric information, and semantic information generated according to the inventive methods can be accurate in relation to the actual structures. The wireframe renderings can be generated from a combination of a plurality of 2D images and point clouds, processing of point clouds to generate virtual/synthetic views to be used with the point clouds, or from 2D image data that has been processed in a machine learning process to generate 3D data. In some aspects, the wireframe renderings are accurate in relation to the actual structure of interest, automatically generated, or both.
