Abstract: An Augmented Reality (AR)-based inspection system comprising a coordinate measuring instrument having a first camera unit, a first computer unit, and a first communication unit, and an AR-device having a second camera unit, a second computer unit, and a second communication unit, wherein the first and the second communication units are connectable, each of the coordinate measuring instrument and the AR-device is configured for establishing a referenced status relative to a setting, at least one of the first and the second computer unit is configured for detecting two-dimensional or three-dimensional structured shapes in images captured by at least one of the first and second camera unit. The AR-device is configured for providing a real view of the setting, providing overlays onto the real view according to corresponding AR-data, wherein said AR-data are at least in part spatially associated with the detected structured shapes.

Abstract: An Augmented Reality (AR)-based system includes a mobile sensor, AR device, coordinate measuring machine, and computer. The AR-device includes a camera for capturing an environment, and a display providing a view of the environment and overlays. The coordinate measuring instrument determines a position of the mobile sensor and the AR-device. The computer: controls the camera, provides a reciprocal data connection, provides the AR-data and at least one corresponding identification feature, establishes a referenced status of the AR-device by, in each case, identifying a respective identification feature captured by the camera, determines a pose of the AR-device relative to the respective identification feature, and generates the overlays in the referenced status based on the pose of the AR-device.

Abstract: A surveying system comprising a global coordinate measuring device (CMD) and a local CMD, wherein the local CMD is configured to coordinatively survey surface survey an object. The surveying system has a coordinate transformation functionality, during the execution of which a first transformation of the local coordinate system of the local CMD into the global coordinate system of the global CMD takes place, whereby at least three reference points, the respective defined position of which is known to either the global or the local CMD, are surveyed by the respective other CMD. A second transformation of the global coordinate system into the object-side coordinate system also takes place, whereby the global CMD surveys at least three support points, the respective defined position of which in the object-side coordinate system is known.

Abstract: The invention relates to a handheld measuring aid for use in a system having a station for determining the position and orientation of the measuring aid, the handheld measuring aid for surveying an object surface. The measuring aid has a body and visual markings disposed in a defined spatial relationship, forming a pattern, on the body in a marking region. In addition, the measuring aid has a connection for receiving a measuring, inspection or processing tool, wherein the connection has a joint, such that the tool is pivotable or rotatable in at least one direction. Furthermore, the connection or tool has a position encoder for determining the rotational position of the joint or tool.
