Mobile and Pervasive Construction Visualization Using Outdoor Augmented Reality Chapter uri icon

abstract

  • This chapter describes the applicability of AR-based visualization for animating dynamic operations modeled and simulated using Discrete Event Simulation (DES). Introduce firstly are developed outdoor AR registration algorithms that use the Global Positioning System (GPS) and electronic compasses to place CAD models with correct pose in users' views. Secondly, an AR animation authoring language called ARVISCOPE is introduced; it is capable of generating animations of arbitrary length and complexity at the operations level of detail using external software processes, such as running DES models. Several examples of pervasive outdoor AR visualization created using the authoring language are presented at the end. These smooth and chronologically accurate animations include an offshore concrete delivery operation, an earthmoving operation, and a structural steel erection operation. 2012 John Wiley & Sons Ltd.
