Patent number: 9741121Abstract: A photo localization application is configured to determine the location that an image depicts relative to a 3D representation of a structure. The 3D representation may be a 3D model, color range scan, or gray scale range scan of the structure. The image depicts a particular section of the structure. The photo localization application extracts and stores features from the 3D representation in a database. The photo localization application then extracts features from the image and compares those features against the database to identify matching features. The matching features form a location fingerprint, from which the photo localization application determines the location that the image depicts, relative to the 3D representation. The location allows the user to better understand and communicate information captured by the image.Type: GrantFiled: March 10, 2016Date of Patent: August 22, 2017Assignee: AUTODESK, INC.Inventors: Ryan Schmidt, Ramtin Attar, Azam Khan

Systems and methods for augmenting panoramic image data with performance related data for a building
Patent number: 9330501Abstract: A system and method for augmenting panoramic images with performance related data for a building are disclosed. The system includes a memory coupled to a processor configured to receive panoramic image data, generate a digital image based on the panoramic image data, and modify the digital image to include a graphical representation of the performance related data. The processor maps performance related data to the coordinate system of the panoramic images such that the graphical representation may be generated without converting the panoramic image data into a high-quality, three-dimensional model in a CAD program. In this way, computer-generated graphical representations of building performance data, such as temperature fields or virtual structures, may be overlaid directly onto a two-dimensional projection of the panoramic image data. In one embodiment, the panoramic image data is a spherical, 360 degree panoramic image captured by a laser scanning device.Type: GrantFiled: August 20, 2012Date of Patent: May 3, 2016Assignee: AUTODESK, Inc.Inventors: Keshaba Chandra Sahoo, Ramtin Attar, Ronald Poelman, Azam Khan -

Patent number: 8884961Abstract: A system and method for displaying a unified representation of performance related data for a building are disclosed. The system includes a sensor network for collecting data in the building and a computing device for generating and displaying a unified representation of performance related data on a display. The performance related data may include the raw data collected by the sensor network or data generated by simulation programs based on the raw data collected by the sensor network. The computing device displays the performance related data in the context of a graphical representation of a three-dimensional model of the building as defined in a building information model (BIM). The computing device generates the graphical representation using an ambient occlusion rendering technique and then incorporates the performance related data either using a direct rendering technique or a transient geometry technique.Type: GrantFiled: May 17, 2011Date of Patent: November 11, 2014Assignee: AUTODESK, Inc.Inventors: Azam Khan, Ebenezer Hailemariam, Michael Glueck, Ramtin Attar, Alexander Tessier
