Patent number: 10789744Abstract: A method for providing a machine operator with an augmented reality view of an environment includes determining a location and orientation of a vehicle. An eye position and gaze of an operator of the vehicle are also determined. Job information to be displayed to the operator of the vehicle is determined based on the location of the vehicle and the orientation of the vehicle. The job information is displayed to the operator based on the eye position and gaze of the operator of the vehicle. In one embodiment, environmental features that can be seen through the windscreen are determined. The job information displayed to the operator is modified based on the environmental features.Type: GrantFiled: April 4, 2016Date of Patent: September 29, 2020Assignee: Topcon Positioning Systems, Inc.Inventors: Leonid Valerianovich Edelman, Daniele Pagliani

Patent number: 10563980Abstract: A method and apparatus utilizing a high-precision GNSS receiver, an EDM, and an optical camera in combination for making accurate measurements of multiple remote points. The accurate measurement of a plurality of remote points is facilitated by integrating a high-precision GNSS receiver, an EDM and an optical camera such that their combined physical location and orientation can be measured and known, and allowing for a single calibration thereof. The integration of the high-precision GNSS receiver, an EDM, and an optical camera may take various forms such as a single, integrated device, or individual devices assembled together on a surveying pole, for example. The integrated device may also include one or more sensors such as an inclination sensor and an inertial measurement unit.Type: GrantFiled: December 23, 2016Date of Patent: February 18, 2020Assignee: Topcon Positioning Systems, Inc.Inventors: Leonid Valerianovich Edelman, Jason Hallett, Alok Srivastava
