Abstract
Information is collected by acquiring imaging data of a plurality of objects using an imaging tool; creating a three-dimensional representation of the plurality of objects based on the imaging data; and extracting RFID data stored in an RFID tag using an RFID reader. The RFID tag has a reference to a three-dimensional model. The three-dimensional model is created before acquiring the imaging data of the plurality of objects. And the three-dimensional model is a representation of at least one object of the plurality of objects.
Claims20
A method of collecting information comprising:
- acquiring imaging data of a plurality of objects using an imaging tool;
- creating a three-dimensional representation of the plurality of objects based on the imaging data;
- and
- extracting RFID data stored in an RFID tag using an RFID reader, wherein:
- the RFID data comprises, or comprises a reference to, a three-dimensional model;
- the three-dimensional model is created before acquiring the imaging data of the plurality of objects;
- and
- the three-dimensional model is a representation of at least one object of the plurality of objects.
5 more elements
A system comprising:
- an imaging tool operable to acquire imaging data of a plurality of objects, wherein the imaging data is processed to create a three-dimensional representation of the plurality of objects;
- and
- a three-dimensional model of at least one object of the plurality of objects, wherein the three-dimensional model is created before the three-dimensional representation of the plurality of objects;
- and
- an RFID reader operable to extract RFID data stored in an RFID tag, wherein the RFID data comprises, or comprises a reference to, the three-dimensional model.
