Systems and Tools for Obtaining and Visualizing Positions and Measurements Through Obstructions

A measurement system for tracking a three-dimensional (3D) path within an obscured pathway or space, the measurement system comprising:

• a measurement device comprising a wireless transceiver on a distal end of an extendible line;
• and
• a user device comprising one or more hardware processors configured to:
• receive signaling from the wireless transceiver that is moved to different positions within the obscured pathway or space;
• convert the signaling into a plurality of 3D positions based on properties of the signaling changing upon arrival at the user device from the different positions;
• map the plurality of 3D positions to corresponding positions about an image or a 3D model of the obscured pathway or space;
• and
• present a visualization of the 3D path comprising graphical indicators at the corresponding positions about the image or the 3D model.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions that, when executed by one or more processors of a measurement system, cause the measurement system to perform operations comprising:

• receiving signaling from a wireless transceiver that is moved to different positions within an obscured pathway or space;
• converting the signaling into a plurality of three-dimensional (3D) positions based on properties of the signaling changing upon arrival at a user device from the different positions;
• mapping the plurality of 3D positions to corresponding positions about an image or a 3D model of the obscured pathway or space;
• and
• presenting a visualization comprising graphical indicators at the corresponding positions about the image or the 3D model.
