  • Patent number: 9336627
    Abstract: Generating a scanned-surface model representing a scanned surface includes various steps. For example, instrument model coordinates may be obtained that represent a position of the instrument in the 3D model. In addition, surface-distance measurements may be derived describing a distance from the scanned surface. Inertial measurements are also recorded. The instrument model coordinates, surface-distance measurements, and inertial measurements are correlated and filtered by a rules based selection process to determine scanned-surface model coordinates.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 9280576
    Abstract: The invention generally relates to enabling the management of survey data. One embodiment includes providing an upload description that describes characteristics of survey data to be uploaded, assigning a thread to process a group of files that store aspects of the survey data, dividing the file into data chunks, deriving from a given data chunk a corresponding data-integrity value and respectively associating the same with the given data chunk, communicating the data chunks to a remote storage device, utilizing the corresponding data-integrity values to ensure successful communication of the data chunk, and spatially storing the survey data such that it is retrievable upon a request that describes a geographic area of interest.
