Abstract
Provided is an information display system configured to display auxiliary information in a real space in a superimposed manner, depending on the visibility of a workpiece. The information display system is provided with a mapping unit configured to photograph the workpiece and create model data indicative of the shape of the workpiece, a complementary unit configured to generate a 3D model image of at least a part of the workpiece based on 3D model data of the workpiece and complement an invisible part of the workpiece by the 3D model image, and a display unit configured to display the 3D model image so as to be superimposed on the invisible part of the workpiece.
Claims6
An information display system, comprising:
- a mapping unit configured to
- photograph a workpiece during machining by a machine tool, and
- create first model data indicative of a shape of the workpiece during the machining;
- a complementary unit configured to
- compare the first model data with second model data to identify an invisible part of the workpiece, the invisible part being a difference between the first model data and the second model data representing 3D model data of the workpiece during the machining calculated based on NC data, and
- generate a 3D model image of the invisible part of the workpiece;
- and
- a display unit configured to display the 3D model image so as to be superimposed on the invisible part of the workpiece during the machining.
An information display system, comprising:
- a camera configured to photograph a workpiece;
- a processor configured to
- create, from a photographed image of the workpiece, first model data indicative of a shape of the workpiece during machining by a machine tool,
- compare the first model data with second model data to identify an invisible part of the workpiece, the invisible part being a difference between the first model data and the second model data representing 3D model data of the workpiece during the machining calculated based on NC data, and
- generate a 3D model image of the invisible part of the workpiece;
- and
- a display configured to display the 3D model image as being superimposed on the invisible part of the workpiece during the machining.
