Abstract
System and method that includes: receiving a 3D textured model of a part that includes inspection data collected for an industrial process associated with the part; tracking a viewing perspective of a user relative to a reference part; generating pose data based on the tracked viewing perspective; rendering an image that includes inspection data from a 3D textured model based on the generated pose data.
Claims20
A computer implemented method comprising:
- collecting inspection image data of a part for an industrial process associated with producing the part;
- generating a 3D textured model of the part that includes inspection data collected for the industrial process associated with producing the part by mapping texture data included in the inspection image data to a 3D model of the part;
- tracking a viewing perspective of a user relative to a reference part;
- generating pose data based on the tracked viewing perspective;
- rendering an image that includes inspection data from the 3D textured model based on the pose data;
- processing the rendered image using segmentation or region-of-interest (ROI) detection based on the inspection data included in the rendered image to identify one or more regions of interest of the part;
- generating a segmented inspection image that highlights the one or more identified regions of interest;
- and
- rendering a further image for display that includes image data corresponding to the reference part overlaid with the segmented inspection image.

An interactive inspection system comprising:
- an inspection device configured to collect inspection image data of a part for an industrial process associated with producing the part;
- a model generation module configured to generate a 3D textured model of the part that includes inspection data collected for the industrial process associated with producing the part by mapping texture data included in the inspection image data to a 3D model of the part;
- a tracking device configured for tracking a viewing perspective of a user relative to a reference part;
- a computer implemented pose estimator configured for generating pose data indicating a pose of the reference part in reliance on the tracked viewing perspective;
- a computer implemented rendering unit configured for generating a rendered image of the part based on the pose data, the rendered image including inspection data from the 3D textured model;
- an image enhancement module configured to process the rendered image using segmentation or region-of-interest (ROI) detection based on the inspection data included in the rendered image to identify one or more regions of interest of the part, and to generate a segmented inspection image that highlights the one or more identified regions of interest;
- and
- a display device configured to display a further image that includes image data corresponding to the reference part overlaid with the segmented inspection image.
