Augmented reality-based system and method to show the location of personnel and sensors inside occluded structures and provide increased situation awareness
First Claim
1. A method of providing enhanced situational information to personnel located within an environment comprising the steps of:
- receiving information from one or more sensors located within the environment, where information includes sensor location information and status information about the environment and personnel therein;
obtaining viewpoint information corresponding to an exterior real-time view of said environment;
generating graphics using said sensor location information and viewpoint information, wherein the graphics include visual representations of the status information;
displaying the generated graphics on a display at a supervisor station that is outside of said environment such that the generated graphics are superimposed on the real-time view.

Abstract
An augmented reality system provides enhanced situational information to personnel located within an environment. A tracking system obtains viewpoint information corresponding to a real-time view of said environment. A processing system receives information from one or more sensors. Information includes sensor location information and status information about the environment and personnel therein. The processing system generates graphics using the sensor location information and the viewpoint information. Graphics include visual representations of said status information. A display displays the generated graphics on a display at a supervisor station that is outside of said environment such that graphics are superimposed on the real-time view.
