Abstract: A system initializes a set of calibrated images with known 3D pose relative to a 3D building information model (BIM) to be anchor images, detects features within images of unknown position and orientation, and determines matches with features of the calibrated images. The system determines a subset of the images that have at least a threshold number of matching features, selects an image from the subset of the images having the largest number of matching features, and executes a reconstruction algorithm using the image and the anchor images to calibrate the image to the BIM and generate an initial 3D point cloud model. The system repeats the last steps to identify a second image from the subset and perform, starting with the initial 3D point cloud model and using the second image, 3D reconstruction to generate an updated 3D point cloud model that is displayable in a graphical user interface.

Abstract: A retrievable self-energizing top anchor tool with a central energizing mandrel disposed around a central tool bore and a set of anchor segments distributed around a circumference of the central energizing mandrel, each having one or more wedge surfaces facing toward the central tool bore and corresponding to and engaging inclined surfaces of the central energizing mandrel. The tool is releasable by relative upward movement of a release sub against a release sub stop arranged within the central tool bore. A release mechanism houses one or more pre-loaded release spring members locked with a release locking mechanism. When unlocked the release spring members exert a retracting bias force on the central energizing mandrel in downward direction along the longitudinal axis relative to the set of anchor segments. This downward movement of the central energizing mandrel causes a radially inward movement of the set of anchor segments.
