Patent Images
1. An apparatus comprising:
- a display;
an image capture device disposed to capture images of a work site; and
a processor programmed to;
determine positions of one or more user specified points in the work site relative to an image capturing perspective of the image capture device;
translate the determined positions of the one or more user specified points so as to be relative to a target reference frame which is noncoincident with the image capturing perspective of the image capture device;
cause information of the translated positions of the one or more user specified points to be graphically displayed on the display so as to provide work site measurements relative to the target reference frame; and
display information of a plurality of tools of varying geometries along with the information of the translated positions of the one or more user specified points on the display, wherein the work site is accessible by each of the plurality of tools by the tool being inserted through an entry port located at an origin of the target reference frame.

Abstract
A robotic system includes a processor that is programmed to determine and cause work site measurements for user specified points in the work site to be graphically displayed in order to provide geometrically appropriate tool selection assistance to the user. The processor is also programmed to determine an optimal one of a plurality of tools of varying geometries for use at the work site and to cause graphical representations of at least the optimal tool to be displayed along with the work site measurements.

16. A method for providing work site measurements, the method comprising:
-
determining positions of one or more user specified points in a work site relative to an image capturing perspective of an image capture device; translating the determined positions of the one or more user specified points so as to be relative to a target reference frame which is noncoincident with the image capturing perspective of the image capture device; graphically displaying information of the translated positions of the one or more user specified points on a display so as to provide work site measurements relative to the target reference frame; and displaying information of a plurality of tools of varying geometries along with the information of the translated positions of the one or more user specified points on the display, wherein the work site is accessible by each of the plurality of tools by the tool being inserted through an entry port located at an origin of the target reference frame. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18)

19. An apparatus comprising:
-
a display; an image capture device disposed to capture images of a work site; and a processor programmed to;
determine positions of one or more user specified points in the work site relative to an image capturing perspective of the image capture device;
translate the determined positions of the one or more user specified points so as to be relative to a target reference frame which is noncoincident with the image capturing perspective of the image capture device;
cause information of the translated positions of the one or more user specified points to be graphically displayed on the display so as to provide work site measurements relative to the target reference frame;
determine an optimal one of the plurality of tools for use at the work site according to the geometries of the plurality of tools and distances to the translated positions of the one or more user specified points relative to the target reference frame; and
cause an indication of the optimal one of the plurality of tools to be displayed on the display. - View Dependent Claims (20)
