Abstract: Embodiments for determining an orientation of a scanned image. In an exemplary embodiment, a method comprises receiving image data of an image of one or more objects. Each object of the one or more objects in the image includes a plurality of points on a surface of the object. The method further comprises generating a plurality of subsets of points of the plurality of points and fitting a parametric model to more than one subset of the plurality of subsets to generate a plurality of parametric models. Further, the method identifies a parametric model of the plurality of parametric models that includes the largest number of points and orients the image based on the parametric model that includes the largest number of points.

Abstract: A stud mounted hoist assembly for lifting, moving, suspending, or loading material and equipment during construction comprises a ring assembly, a welding stud anchor, and a bushing having a chamfered inner cylindrical surface to accommodate weld flash when mounting the assembly to a load or overhead structure. The bushing and ring assembly provide pivot and swivel capability to the mount. One operator can quickly and securely install a temporary lifting point where and when needed without the assistance of support personnel.
