Panoptic visualization of elements of a complex system using localization of a point on a physical instance of the complex system
First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- receiving and processing range measurements and odometry data relative to a physical instance of a complex system to calculate an unknown, particular location within a coordinate system of the complex system;
identifying a document component of a panoptic visualization document collection having a plurality of document components, each document component of at least some of the document components including respective media content depicting an element of the complex system, and having associated metadata providing structured information reflecting a three- dimensional (3D) geometry of the element within a coordinate system of the complex system, the respective media content of the identified document component depicting an element of the complex system at the particular location or within a volume about or at least in part defined by the particular location; and
generating a layout of panoptically-arranged visual representations of document components including the identified document component and one or more other document components identified according to the associated metadata for the identified document component, which further includes structured information identifying a link between the identified document component and one or more other document components that establishes a logical relationship between the respective media content thereof,wherein the layout is a two-dimensional layout in which the logical relationship is expressed by a difference in size, location or depth of at least some of the visual representations relative to others of the visual representations, and wherein the visual representations of the document components in the layout are images of the document components including the respective media content thereof.

Abstract
A system is provided that includes a localization module configured to receive and process range measurements and odometry data relative to a physical instance of a complex system to calculate an unknown location within a coordinate system of the complex system. A search engine configured to identify a document component that depicts an element of the complex system at or within a volume about the location. The document component is from a collection for which at least some components depict elements of the complex system and have associated metadata that includes information reflecting the 3D geometry of at least some depicted elements. A layout engine configured to generate a layout of panoptically-arranged document components including the identified document component and other document component(s) identified according to the associated metadata for the identified document component, which further includes information identifying a link between the respective document components.
