Abstract: A computer-implemented method is provided that includes detecting at least one reflective surface in at least one two-dimensional (2D) image of an environment. The method further includes generating bounding coordinates encompassing the at least one reflective surface in the 2D image. The method further includes projecting the bounding coordinates of the 2D image into a three-dimensional (3D) space of the environment. The method further includes identifying a reflection artifact encompassed by the bounding coordinates in the 3D space. The method further includes removing the reflection artifact identified in the bounding coordinates.

Abstract: Examples described herein provide a method that includes receiving a model corresponding to an assembly. The method further includes defining an object of interest in the model. The method further includes receiving a point cloud generated based on data obtained by scanning the assembly using a laser scanner. The method further includes aligning the point cloud to the model. The method further includes determining whether a component corresponding to the object of interest is located correctly relative to the assembly based at least in part on the point cloud aligned to the model. The method further includes, responsive to determining that the component is not located correctly, taking a corrective action.

Abstract: Examples described herein provide a method that includes receiving, from a camera, a first image captured at a first location of an environment. The method further includes receiving, by a three-dimensional (3D) coordinate measurement device, first 3D coordinate data captured at the first location of the environment. The method further includes receiving, from the camera, a second image captured at a second location of the environment. The method further includes detecting, by a processing system, first features of the first image and second features of the second image. The method further includes determining, by the processing system, whether a correspondence exists between the first image and the second image. The method further includes, responsive to determining that the correspondence exists between the first image and the second image, causing the 3D coordinate measurement device to capture, at the second location, second 3D coordinate data.

Abstract: A method for executing a write request in a clustered computing environment, comprising a plurality of computers connected in a network, including at least one client computer accessing data blocks stored on a first storage device of a shared aggregated pool of storage devices. Data blocks stored on the first storage device are linked to data blocks stored on at least one second storage device of the pool by error recovery data stored on a third storage device of the pool. When a client computer sends a write request to the first storage device for a new data block to be stored at an address on the first storage device, the new data block is written at the address on the first storage device. New error recovery data is calculated for the data block and is written to the third storage device.
