Abstract

A survey data processing system, comprising processing programs for preparing a 3-dimensional data at two or more points including a control point in a predetermined range by a surveying instrument, for preparing a digital image in a predetermined range including the control point taken by an image pickup device, for preparing TIN data obtained by connecting two or more points including the control point, for matching the control point on the TIN data with the control point on the image, for associating the image with a triangular net which composes the TIN data by texture mapping based on the matching, and for changing a method to display the image prepared through the texture mapping by applying calculation to the TIN data.

Claims

1. A survey data processing system, comprising processing programs for preparing a 3-dimensional data at two or more points including a control point in a predetermined range by a surveying instrument, for preparing a digital image in a predetermined range including the control point taken by an image pickup device, for preparing TIN data obtained by connecting two or more points including the control point, for matching the control point on said TIN data with the control point on said image, for associating said image with a triangular net which composes said TIN data by texture mapping based on the matching, and for changing a method to display the image prepared through the texture mapping by applying calculation to said TIN data.

2. A survey data processing system according to claim 1, wherein the surveying instrument for obtaining said 3-dimensional data, the image pickup device to obtain the digital image, and the processing program are integrated with each other, and there is provided a display unit.

3. A survey data processing system, comprising a surveying instrument for surveying a control point set up in a predetermined measurement range and for automatically measuring the measurement range, an image pickup device for taking at least an image of the measurement range including the control point, and a data processing device for preparing TIN data in triangular net of the measurement range based on the control point and measuring points measured automatically, for superimposing the pickup image taken by said image pickup device to said TIN data by texture mapping using the control point as a reference and for preparing an ortho-image based on said TIN data.

4. A survey data processing system according to claim 3, wherein said TIN data includes at least 3-dimensional data of each control point and 3-dimensional data of the measuring point, and said data processing device calculates 3-dimensional data at an arbitrary point on the ortho-image from a coordinate calculating equation of a triangular plane formed by three points of the control point and the measuring points.

5. A survey data processing system according to claim 4, wherein the ortho-image from an arbitrary position is prepared based on said TIN data and said pickup image.

6. A survey data processing system according to claim 4, wherein a 3-dimensional image with a projection center at an arbitrary position is prepared based on said TIN data and the pickup image.

7. A survey data processing system according to claim 3, wherein said system compares work finishing data obtained by carrying out the work with working data which comprises said TIN data having at least 3-dimensional data of intersections and an image data superimposable with said TIN data, and the result of the comparison is displayed with different colors depending on different types of working operation.

8. A storage medium, comprising working data recorded in said storage medium, wherein said working data comprises at least TIN data having 3-dimensional data of intersections and image data superimposable on said TIN data.

9. A display device, comprising at least a display unit, an arithmetic operation control unit, and a storage unit having an image reproducing program, wherein said arithmetic operation control unit can display a superimposed image of TIN data with image data on said display unit based on working data which comprises at least TIN data having 3-dimensional data at intersections and image data superimposable on said TIN data.

10. A display device according to claim 9, wherein said arithmetic operation control unit prepares a 3-dimensional image having an arbitrary position in said superimposed image as a projection center based on the working data by using said image reproducing program and displays the 3-dimensional image on said display unit.
