Patent attributes
The disclosed embodiments include a method for automating alignment of image data captured of a three-dimensional (3D) physical structure with a computer model of the 3D physical structure. The method can include obtaining two-dimensional (2D) images of the 3D physical structure undergoing construction, detecting fiducial markers corresponding to control points in the 2D images, and determining a transformation function based on the control points. The method can further include obtaining more 2D images, detecting other fiducial markers, and aligning image data to a computer model by utilizing the transformation function. The method can further include refining an alignment by utilizing a refinement transformation based on 3D physical elements of the 3D physical structure.
