Method for visualizing a position of a vehicle navigating a pipe

摘要

A method for visualizing a position of a vehicle configured for navigating a pipe within the pipe on a display device wherein the visualization on the display device is at least partially performed based on a virtual representation and the pipe is graphically represented at least in sections and preferably in a form of lines defining its enveloping surfaces on the display device, wherein the vehicle and preferably its movement is also represented on the display device thus within the pipe.

1. A method for visualizing a position of a vehicle in a pipe on a display device, comprising the steps:
visualizing a position of a vehicle in a pipe and a graphical representation of the pipe on a display device through a virtual representation; graphically representing the pipe on the display device at least in sections through lines defining enveloping surfaces of the pipe; and representing the vehicle and movement of the vehicle in the pipe on the display device, wherein data regarding the pipe is determined in that the pipe is navigated by the vehicle, wherein data regarding the extension of the pipe and data regarding a position and a geometry of branches or inlets of other pipes into the pipe is captured through a camera arranged at the vehicle; and wherein the graphical representation of the pipe is generated from said data regarding the pipe, data regarding the extension of the pipe, and data regarding the position and the geometry of branches or inlets of other pipes.
