Enhancements to a 3D Mobile Mapping Application to Improve Field Data Collection

Résumé
The Modelar 3D mapping system uses inexpensive mobile devices (iPhones and iPads) with LiDAR sensors to quickly scan areas and create 3D point clouds and triangulated meshes in real-time. It can then upload the resulting information to a cloud management system to manage, organize, and visualize the collected data. The 3D point clouds and meshes that Modelar now collects are inherently useful, but augmenting them with spatially referenced annotations, high-resolution imagery, video and audio would make them more valuable for inspection workflows. We propose to enhance Modelar so that it can collect this data in the field, manage it in the cloud, and extract meaningful content from it using machine learning.

Description
The Modelar 3D mapping system uses inexpensive mobile devices (iPhones and iPads) with LiDAR sensors to quickly scan areas and create 3D point clouds and triangulated meshes in real-time. It can then upload the resulting information to a cloud management system to manage, organize, and visualize the collected data.

We propose to enhance Modelar so that it can collect this data in the field, manage it in the cloud, and extract meaningful content from it using machine learning.
Description (French)
Le système de cartographie 3D Modelar utilise des appareils mobiles peu coûteux (iPhone et iPad) dotés de capteurs LiDAR pour scanner rapidement des zones et créer des nuages de points 3D et des maillages triangulés en temps réel. Il peut ensuite télécharger les informations obtenues vers un système de gestion du nuage pour gérer, organiser et visualiser les données collectées. Les nuages de points et les maillages 3D que Modelar collecte actuellement sont intrinsèquement utiles, mais les enrichir d’annotations à référence spatiale, d’images haute résolution, de vidéos et de sons les rendrait plus précieux pour les flux de travail d’inspection. Nous proposons d’améliorer Modelar afin qu’il puisse collecter ces données sur le terrain, les gérer dans le nuage et en extraire un contenu significatif à l’aide de l’apprentissage automatique.
