Patent number: 6734849Abstract: An integrated system generates a model of a three-dimensional object. A scanning laser device scans the three-dimensional object and generates a point cloud. The points of the point cloud each indicate a location of a corresponding point on a surface of the object. A first model is generated, responsive to the point cloud, that generates a first model representing constituent geometric shapes of the object. A data file is generated, responsive to the first model, that can be inputted to a computer-aided design system.Type: GrantFiled: February 20, 2002Date of Patent: May 11, 2004Assignee: Cyra Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Jerry Dimsdale, Mark Brunkhart

Patent number: 6633290Abstract: An apparatus and method are described for forming 2D views of a structure from 3D point data. In the present invention, a plane is specified and triangulated meshes are intersected with the plane to form a group of polylines. The significant features of each polyline are then extracted, and the features are then connected to form intersection polylines that closely approximate the intersection polylines that would be generated by intersecting the real 3D structure with the specified plane. The final 2D view consists of the connected features extracted from the polylines.Type: GrantFiled: May 18, 2000Date of Patent: October 14, 2003Assignee: Cyra Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Jonathan Apollo Kung, Vadim Matov

Patent number: 6619406Abstract: Methods for operating a laser scanning system. The laser scanning system can be used in construction projects to generate a field survey. An architect or engineer can use the field survey to create construction drawings. In addition, relevant points from the construction drawings can be identified at the construction site with the scanning system. Further, earth moving equipment can be controlled using the same information. The laser scanning system can also be used to determine if two parts can be mated together by scanning and comparing the parts that are to be mated. The laser scanning system can further be used to determine if an object can be moved through an opening in a structure by comparing scan points of the structure with scan points from the object. The laser scanning system can additionally be used to identifying objects within the site, to build databases that have relevant information about the objects, and to guide reproducing machines.Type: GrantFiled: July 13, 2000Date of Patent: September 16, 2003Assignee: Cyra Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Ben K. Kacyra, Jerry Dimsdale, Christopher Robin Thewalt

Patent number: 6604068Abstract: A system and method are described for concurrently modeling of any element of a geometric model. The geometric model is stored in a database as a number of model objects. The model objects are loaded into a computer, and are then used to generate a display. When a model is edited, a representation of the model object is changed. The change is sent to the database to update the corresponding model object stored in the database. Any computers displaying this model will be notified of the change and will reload and redisplay the updated model object.Type: GrantFiled: May 18, 2000Date of Patent: August 5, 2003Assignee: Cyra Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Richard William Bukowski, Mark Damon Wheeler
