  • Patent number: 11481999
    Abstract: A maintenance work support system comprising: a database in which support information for supporting maintenance work is registered; a camera-image acquisition unit configured to acquire a camera-image imaged by a camera that is mounted on a terminal possessed by a worker performing the maintenance work; a position/attitude estimation unit configured to estimate a position and attitude of the terminal based on information that is obtained by at least one device mounted on the terminal; a target recognition unit configured to recognize a target of the maintenance work depicted in the camera-image; and a superimposed display unit configured to perform display processing in such a manner that the support information corresponding to the target acquired from the database is superimposed on least part of an image of the target visually recognized by the worker.

  • Patent number: 11395102
    Abstract: A field cooperation system according to an embodiment includes a terminal device and a management device. The terminal device includes: a position measurement unit; and a display unit. The position measurement unit measures a position of the terminal device. A display device displays a display image. The management device includes: a database; and a display control unit. The database stores three-dimensional data representing a layout of a structure. The display control unit generates a display image to illustrate the structure and an icon representing the position of the terminal device on the display unit in correspondence with each other based on the three-dimensional data and the measured position of the terminal device.
