    • The present invention is a system for real time tracking of position and orientation, termed "pose", of a remote camera. While remote cameras have been used on a regular basis to inspect machinery for wear or damage, knowing the exact location of a camera is difficult. Off-line feature extraction is employed with on-line pose determination. The feature extraction precomputes features from a CAD model of the object visible in a selected set of views. The on-line pose determination starts from an initial pose estimate, determines the visible model features, projects them into a two-dimensional image coordinate system, matches each to the current camera image, and uses the differences between the predicted and matched feature positions in a gradient descent technique to iteratively refine the pose estimate. The on-line portion of the system is designed to execute at video frame rates, providing a continual indication of borescope tip pose.

    • An Optical Probe Measurement Device accurately and efficiently measures locations of visible features of a structure without making contact with the structure. It employs a centering microscope which a user looks through to locate the feature to be measured. The centering microscope is connected to an orientation plate in a known pose which has targets measurable with a 3D measurement device. The 3D measurement device determines 3D locations of the targets. A light source is attached to the orientation plate to produce a light beam which intersects the optical axis at the focal point of the centering microscope, being a distance D.sub.0 away from the end of the centering microscope. When this light beam impinges on the surface of the structure at the same location as the feature seen in the centering microscope, the feature is exactly the D.sub.0 away from the centering microscope. A calculation device receives the measured 3D locations of the targets, the pose of the centering microscope relative to the orientation plate, and the distance D.sub.0, and calculates the actual 3D location of the focal point, also being the location of the feature on the structure. Optionally a triggering device may be used to indicate when to calculate the location of the focal point.

    • An inspection system for imaging and analyzing anisotropically reflecting surface flaws uses a side-looking borescope-type optical probe device for acquiring images of a region on the surface of an object and a computer for analyzing the images. The head of the probe includes a special integral lighting arrangement for illuminating the surface of the object in a manner that assures detection of anisotropically reflecting surface flaws. The borescope configuration of the optical probe along with its integral lighting and imaging arrangement allows it to be used in spatially confined environments where conventional methods and equipment for viewing anisotropically reflecting surface flaws would not be feasible. The special lighting arrangement employs multiple single light sources arranged in a circular array around a central image receiving device. Light sources in the array are individually and sequentially activated in a progressive manner such that light emanating from the array changes position in an orbital fashion about the image receiving device. Video images of the surface are acquired for each distinct direction of illumination. The acquired images are simultaneously displayed in real time on a monitor and are also stored for further analysis and processing. Features of an imaged area which are likely to be significant are displayed enhanced or otherwise marked on the same or a secondary monitor so as to alert an operator to suspect regions.

    • An enhanced reality maintenance system for operating in a hazardous environment employs an environment modeler which creates a computer model of the environment. An environment renderer creates a plurality of images, each corresponding to a viewing location and orientation, `viewpoint`. A remotely operated manipulator arm is attached at a fixed end to a stationary structure, has a utility package, such as a video camera, attached to a distal end, and actuators which move the manipulator arm to desired locations within the environment. The position and orientation of the manipulator arm, are determined by a position and attitude (P&A) sensing unit. This information is passed to an manipulator arm renderer which creates an image from a prestored model of the manipulator arm, viewed from several different viewpoints. The may be interactively determined as an offset from the current position and orientation of the utility package. Alternative embodiments include an image archive and comparison unit capable of storing images linked to information of the image acquisition, retrieving stored images and transforming the images to match the image acquisition parameters. Also, another embodiment employs an automated positioner, which desired path information is provided by an operator. The environment, manipulator arm size, shape, and motion constraints, are analyzed to result in a trajectory which most closely fits the provided path information which would not cause a collision with structures in the environment. This trajectory, if acceptable, is then automatically executed by an automated positioner.
