3D MAPPING OF A SURVEYED ENVIRONMENT
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method for real-time 3D map generation during a survey, said method comprising:
- accessing a 3D model of an area to be surveyed;
defining attributes of an object within the area to be surveyed;
utilizing a wire frame to represent the object in the 3D model;
linking a tag comprising the attributes of the object with the wire frame representation of the object;
draping imagery of the object over the wire frame of the object; and
updating the 3D model of the area to be surveyed.

Abstract
A real time 3D survey site modeler is disclosed. One embodiment includes a survey data collector to collect survey data for a location and obtain information for each object that is surveyed. In addition, a 3D model creator receives the collected survey data and creates a 3D model of the world being surveyed in real time.
