Abstract
System and methods and computer program code are provided to perform a commissioning process comprising capturing, using an image capture device, an image of an area containing at least a first fixture, identifying location and positioning information associated with the image, performing image processing of the image to identify a location of the at least first fixture in the image, and converting the location of the at least first fixture in the image into physical coordinate information associated with the at least first fixture.
Claims12
A method, comprising:
- capturing, using an image capture device of a user device, an image of an area containing at least a first fixture;
- identifying physical location and positioning information associated with the image capture device;
- mapping, using LiDAR mixed with the identified physical location and positioning information associated with the image capture device, physical location and positioning information for the at least first fixture, wherein the LiDAR is supported by the user device;
- identifying pixel coordinates in the image of the at least first fixture in the image by performing image processing of the image including a first thresholding process and a second thresholding process, wherein the first thresholding process generates a first thresholding process image including a plurality of pixels and the second thresholding process generates a second thresholding process image;
- pixel-by-pixel processing the first thresholding process image and the second thresholding process image to generate a third image;
- generating a final image by processing, using an OR function, the third image and the first thresholding process image;
- and
- converting pixel coordinates of the at least first fixture in the final image into physical coordinate information associated with the at least first fixture.
A non-transitory, computer-readable medium storing instructions, that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform a mapping method comprising:
- capturing, using an image capture device of a user, an image of an area containing at least a first fixture;
- identifying physical location and positioning information associated with the image capture device;
- mapping, using LiDAR mixed with the identified physical location and positioning information associated with the image capture device, physical location and positioning information for the at least first fixture, wherein the LiDAR is supported by the user device;
- identifying pixel coordinates in the image of the at least first fixture in the image by performing image processing of the image including a first thresholding process and a second thresholding process, wherein the first thresholding process generates a first thresholding process image including a plurality of pixels and the second thresholding process generates a second thresholding process image;
- pixel-by-pixel processing the first thresholding process image and the second thresholding process image to generate a third image;
- generating a final image by processing, using an OR function, the third image and the first thresholding process image;
- and
- converting pixel coordinates of the at least first fixture in the final image into physical coordinate information associated with the at least first fixture.
