An initial building model is read in and a creator indication about the creator thereof is extracted therefrom. The creator indication is taken as a basis for loading a creator-specific object pattern library in which a respective object pattern has an assigned building element data record. The respective object pattern is correlated with objects of the initial building model by a pattern recognition method. At the same time, an object correlating with the respective object pattern is assigned the building element data record assigned to this object pattern as an annotation. The initial building model and the assigned annotations are then taken as a basis for generating and outputting an annotated digital building model.

A method and an apparatus for generating sensor data for controlling an autonomous vehicle in an environment is provided, such as driverless transport vehicles in a factory for example. Sensor positions of static sensors and the sensors of autonomous vehicles are defined in a global coordinate system on the basis of an environment model, such as a BIM model for example. Sensor data is centrally generated in this global coordinate system for all sensors as a function of these sensor positions. The sensor data is then transformed into a local coordinate system of an autonomous vehicle and transferred for controlling the autonomous vehicle.

A method for providing an updated digital building model is provided. The method includes the following steps: a) providing a digital building model for a physical building, b) ascertaining a virtually accessible area within the digital building model, c) capturing real data obtained by a number N of data sources, where N≥1, wherein the real data include data from a real accessible area within the physical building that corresponds to the virtually accessible area, and d) updating the virtually accessible area within the digital building model by the captured real data of the real accessible area to provide the updated digital building model. This means that when there is a need to evacuate a physical building, there are updated virtually accessible areas present, and hence these can be taken as a basis for providing an updated evacuation plan for evacuating people.

A method for determining the position of a real object and displaying a virtual object linked to the real object in an augmented reality display device is provided. For this purpose, a tracking system is used to detect a position of the real object) at different consecutive measurement times and in each case to calculate an estimated position for the measurement times. A reliability value is determined on the basis of the detected position of the real object and of the estimated position of the real object and shown in the augmented reality display device. The present method furthermore discloses a corresponding augmented reality system having an augmented reality display device for displaying a real object and a virtual object linked to the real object).

A method of position planning for a recording system of an imaging device with respect to a selectable field of view of a patient includes acquiring current position information of the recording system and/or the imaging device, and/or setting information of a collimator of the imaging device. A current intersection volume between an X-ray beam and the patient and/or a current field of view is determined. The current intersection volume and/or the current field of view is determined as a virtual display element. A target intersection volume and/or a target field of view is received by manipulation of the virtual display element. A target position of the recording system and/or the imaging device, and/or the setting of the collimator is determined, such that, on occupying the target position, the target intersection volume and/or the target field of view becomes the current intersection volume and/or current field of view.

Method and apparatus are described for calculating a route for at least one object inside a predefined area or building. A suitable sensor system is used to determine the current position data relating to the object. The respective current position data is used to simulate a flow of objects. Respective updated route guidance information is provided for output devices in the predefined area or building based on the results of the object flow simulation. The current position data relating to the object are determined via the effects of near field communication (NFC), for example, via RFID technology.
