3-D Visualization in Hostile Environments (46)

Electronic Equipment Integrated Systems

Problem: Need unique area visualization system for safe, efficient, remote machine operation in hostile environments

Project Activity Scope (from Technical Overview Chart): Circuits & Devices through Integrated Systems

PNNL Solution:

  • Developed practical 3-D "world model" measurement and data display system that provides an operator "view" of workspace including views not available to cameras or view-ports, real-time "world model" updates, and collision prediction and detection alarms.
  • Demonstrated system successfully in radioactive work zone

Capabilities Employed to Meet Client Needs: System architecture development and detailed design; mechanical documentation; data acquisition system development; CAD models; real-time updates of models; 3-D graphic object display including "views" not available to operators through existing viewing ports; graphical user interfaces; system deployment and evaluation.
