摘要： Methods, apparatus and systems for computer-aided determination of quality assessment for locate and marking operations. In one example, a quality assessment decision is solely under the discretion of a human reviewer, albeit facilitated in some respects by computer-aided display of information, and electronic record keeping and communication functions associated with the quality assessment result(s). In another example, information related to a locate and marking operation is electronically analyzed such that a quality assessment is not based solely on human discretion, but rather based at least in part on some predetermined criteria and/or metrics that facilitate an automated determination of quality assessment.

摘要： A position of a marking device is monitored by receiving start position information indicative of an initial position of the marking device, capturing one or more images using one or more camera systems attached to the marking device, and analyzing the image(s) to determine tracking information indicative of a motion of the marking device. The tracking information and the start position information are then analyzed to determine current position information. In one example, images of a target surface over which the marking device is carried are analyzed pursuant to an optical flow algorithm to provide estimates of relative position for a dead-reckoning process, and the current position information is determined based on the estimates of relative position and the start position information. In another example, a geo-location device is used to generate geo-location data indicative of positions of the marking device as it traverses at least a first portion of the path. The camera system(s) are used to obtain optical flow-based dead reckoning data indicative of relative positions of the marking device as it traverses at least a second portion of the path.

摘要： Ticket information may be displayed and/or processed on one or more pieces of locating equipment used in the field by a technician. The technician may provide some input to generate an electronic record or log of technician activity during the locate and/or marking operation. In one example, a checklist may be generated (e.g., based at least in part on the ticket information) and displayed locally to the technician as a guide to perform and verify various aspects of the operation(s). In another example, a set of instructions or "workflow" may be generated to guide the technician through a sequence of steps to perform the locate and/or marking operation. Performance via a process guide (e.g., checklist or workflow) may be interactive in that the technician may provide input, or automated/semi-automated by analyzing various information collected by the locating equipment with respect to the ticket information and/or other available information germane to the operation(s).
