An optical measurement system and method that utilizes a single camera in combination with a specially configured target object which significantly improves optical measuring accuracy with respect to the measurement of distance, height difference and position.

Method and apparatus for single camera optical measurements

The present disclosure describes a method and an apparatus for determining a corrected position of a vehicle based on a stable landmark. The method includes determining a last known position vector of the vehicle; capturing an image within a vicinity of a vehicle using an imaging device; identifying a stable landmark within the captured image based on a previously constructed reference map of the vicinity of the vehicle; determining a correction for a position of the vehicle based on the determined last known position vector of the vehicle and the identified stable landmark; and determining an updated position of the vehicle based on the determined correction.

Method and device for determining a vehicle position

A vehicular positioning system utilizing multiple optical cameras having contiguous fields of view for reading coded markers having pre-determined positions for determining the position of vehicle inside a structure with a high degree of accuracy. The vehicle positioning system provides for the direct installation and use of a positioning apparatus on a vehicle with a limited number of coded markers to determine the vehicle's position to within millimeter level accuracy.

Apparatus and method for providing vehicular positioning

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.

Method and apparatus for augmented reality display on vehicle windscreen

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.
