  • Patent number: 12380661
    Abstract: A digital model is generated of a debris location where the digital model includes an augmented reality overlay of the debris location. Digital data from sensors at a debris field is received at a computer, and the digital data depicts debris in the debris field. Materials in the debris field are detected and identified based on the detected materials in the debris field. Layers of materials in the debris field are identified. A digital model is generated of the materials in the debris field including in the layers. Using the computer and an augmented reality (AR) device, an augmented reality overlay is generated based on the digital model of the materials in the debris fields. The augmented reality overlay is superimposed over the digital model of the materials in the debris field to indicate the materials in the debris field and the materials in the layers of the debris field.
