Abstract: A method, apparatus, and system for visualizing information. An augmented reality system comprises a computer system and a visualizer in the computer system. The computer system is in communication with unmanned vehicles using communications links. The visualizer system receives images of a physical object from the unmanned vehicles moving relative to the physical object and receive scan data for a region of the physical object from the unmanned vehicles. The visualizer creates an enhanced model of the physical object using the images and the scan data. The region of the physical object in the enhanced model has a greater amount of detail than the other regions of the physical object. The visualizer sends information to a portable computing device that is displayable by the portable computing device on a live view of the physical object. The information is identified using the enhanced model of the physical object.
