  • Augmented reality visualization of underground pipelines using geospatial databases and KM markers
    Patent number: 11308700
    Abstract: Systems and methods include a method for presenting an augmented reality (AR) display. Kilometer (KM) markers nearest a location are identified using an AR system. Virtual representations of the KM markers are superimposed onto a real-time displayed scene of the location captured by a camera. Fiducial information of a fiducial marker of a pipeline associated with a user-selected KM marker is obtained using KM marker information of a user-selected KM marker. Segment coordinates of the pipeline are obtained using the fiducial information. A relative position of the pipeline relative to the real-time displayed scene captured by the camera is determined. The relative position of the pipeline is determined based on a direction in which the camera is pointed, coordinates of the camera, and the segment coordinates of the pipeline. A 3D model of the pipeline is superimposed onto the real-time displayed scene captured by the camera.
