Abstract: A camera is oriented at a workspace by comparing a three-dimensional model of the workspace to an image. A user provides an initial estimation of camera location. A feature of the three-dimensional model is projected onto the image. The feature of the three-dimensional model is compared to a corresponding feature in the image. A position and orientation of the camera are calculated by comparing the feature of the three-dimensional model the corresponding feature in the image.

Abstract: Multiple cameras are used for tool positioning, as-built documentation, and/or personnel monitoring in construction site. A camera unit comprises one or more imaging devices, a processing computer, and a communication device. The camera units are placed at multiple locations in a construction site to cover an area. The camera units are self-positioned by detecting a calibration target that moves within a working volume. The camera units can detect and calculate positions of objects, including measurement sticks, tools, personnel, etc., in the area.

Abstract: An augmented-reality device is aligned with an environment using a correction source. A position of a reflector (or other device that is part of a surveying system) coupled with a surveying rod is measured in relation to a correction. A position of a visual design, which is coupled with the surveying rod, is measured in relation to an augmented-reality device, based on an image of the visual design acquired by the augmented-reality device. A coordinate system of the augmented-reality device is aligned with the environment based on the position of the reflector in relation to the correction source, the position of the visual design in relation to the augmented-reality device, and an offset between the reflector and visual design.

Abstract: A Position and Orientation Measurement Engine (POME) is a mobile camera system that can be used for accurate indoor measurement (e.g., at a construction site). The POME uses a plurality of cameras to acquire images of a plurality of targets. If locations of the plurality of targets are precisely known, images of the targets can be used to determine a position of the POME in relation to the plurality of targets. However, to precisely determine locations of the plurality of targets can be time consuming and/or use expensive equipment. This disclosure discusses how to use a camera system with an electronic distance measuring unit to determine locations of the plurality of targets.
