  • Publication number: 20240104886
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method (100) for identifying a profile, in particular a workpiece profile, said method (100) comprising an image acquisition phase (102) for obtaining an RGB image, an infrared, IR image, and a depth image of said profile, said method (100) further comprising a processing phase (110) comprising the following steps: extracting (120) from said RGB image, respectively from said IR image, of a zone of interest corresponding to said profile and storing said zone of interest as RGB image of interest, respectively as IR image of interest; constructing (140) a consolidated image from said RGB and IR images of interest; detecting (160) the contour of said profile in said consolidated image; and identifying (162) said profile by comparing said contour to a database of profile contours. It also relates to a device implementing such a method, and a computer program implementing the processing phase of said method.

  • Patent number: 11430183
    Abstract: A method for digitally modeling an industrial space, the industrial space including a plurality of pieces of equipment (E3) disposed in an industrial building (B), the modeling method including a step of three-dimensionally digitizing the industrial space so as to obtain a web (NAP) defining meshes representing the outer envelope of the industrial space with all of its pieces of equipment (E3), a step of real-time segmenting the web (NAP) in a virtual environment by a user during which: a bounding box (F) is positioned to bound at least one piece of equipment to be segmented (E3), and the points of the web (NAP), belonging to the volume of the bounding box (F), are associated so as to form a virtual object (OBJ).
