  • A METHOD AND A SYSTEM FOR GENERATING 3D INFORMATION RELATING TO A SCENE OR AREA COMPRISING AN OBJECT
    Publication number: 20250095286
    Abstract: Three-dimensional (3D) information is generated from two or more two-dimensional (2D) images. In the 2D images, one or more objects are identified, and either a corresponding portion of the 3D information representing the same object is identified and/or where the 3D information is corrected correspondingly. The correction may be the leaving out of 3D information representing the object or the correction of the 3D information based on knowledge of a shape of the object.

  • Method for obtaining a three-dimensional model of an inspection site
    Patent number: 11695909
    Abstract: A method for obtaining a three-dimensional model of an inspection site, using a perception module, is disclosed. The perception module comprises a detection unit, e.g. comprising one or more cameras and/or a three-dimensional laser scanner, configured to obtain a three-dimensional image. At least one three-dimensional image is obtained by means of the detection unit. A three-dimensional model of surroundings of the perception module is created, based on the obtained three-dimensional image. The created three-dimensional model and a plan of the inspection site are compared and features of the created three-dimensional model and features of the plan of the inspection site are matched. A site-specific three-dimensional model of the inspection site is formed, based on the created three-dimensional model and the plan of the inspection site, and based on the comparison.
