RECORDING MEDIUM, AND SYSTEM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20230064228 titled 'RECORDING MEDIUM, AND SYSTEM

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a system for photogrammetry of a building, which involves storing design data and physical material data. The design data includes information about virtual materials used in a virtual building, while the physical material data is based on measured data acquired from a physical building constructed based on the design data. The system includes processors that determine associations between virtual and physical materials based on their attributes.

• The system stores design data and physical material data for a building.
• The design data includes information about virtual materials used in a virtual building.
• The physical material data is generated based on measured data acquired from a physical building constructed based on the design data.
• A material associating processor determines associations between virtual and physical materials.
• An attribute associating processor determines associations between the virtual material information and the physical material data based on their attributes.

Potential Applications

• Architectural design and construction: The system can be used to accurately capture and analyze the materials used in a building, allowing for better design and construction processes.
• Building maintenance and renovation: By associating virtual and physical materials, the system can assist in identifying and replacing damaged or outdated materials in a building.
• Historical preservation: The system can be used to document and preserve the materials used in historical buildings, aiding in their restoration and conservation efforts.

Problems Solved

• Inaccurate material documentation: The system solves the problem of relying on manual documentation of building materials, which can be prone to errors and omissions.
• Difficulties in material analysis: By associating virtual and physical materials, the system simplifies the analysis of building materials, allowing for better understanding and decision-making in design and construction processes.
• Lack of standardized material data: The system provides a standardized way of associating virtual and physical materials, ensuring consistency and compatibility in material information.

Benefits

• Improved design and construction processes: The system enables accurate documentation and analysis of building materials, leading to better decision-making and more efficient construction processes.
• Enhanced maintenance and renovation: By associating virtual and physical materials, the system facilitates the identification and replacement of damaged or outdated materials, improving the maintenance and renovation of buildings.
• Streamlined historical preservation: The system aids in the documentation and preservation of historical buildings by accurately capturing and analyzing their materials, contributing to their restoration and conservation efforts.

Original Abstract Submitted

one aspect example is a system for photogrammetry of a building. a memory stores design data and physical material data. the design data includes virtual material information on attributes for each of virtual materials of a virtual building. the physical material data is on the attributes for each of physical materials and generated based on measured data acquired from a physical building constructed on the basis of the design data. a material associating processor is configured to generate pairs of virtual and physical materials by determining an association between the virtual materials and the physical materials based on the virtual material information and the physical material data. an attribute associating processor is configured to determine an association between the virtual material information and the physical material data in accordance with the attributes for each of the pairs.
