超越现实。Digital Reality’s Next Frontier

Author:Monica Miller Rodgers

Hexagon’s Geosystems Division President Juergen Dold presented超越现实。Digital Reality’s Next Frontierat Hexagon’s digital solutions conference, HxGN LIVE, 12 June at the Venetian Ballroom in Las Vegas, Nevada, USA.

In this main event for the Geosystems Track, Dold explored the limitless opportunities available for digitalisation. Presenting ideas and case studies where the entire planet can be digitised, he unveiled a never-before-seen world of possibility where all things are machine readable and subject to the power of algorithms.

Dreams do come true

Using the famous quote by Walt Disney, Dold kicked off his keynote with a discussion on inspiration.它从何而来？如何将灵感变成现实？有什么可能？

如果您可以做梦，可以做到。
-Walt Disney

例子包括Leonardo Davinci的飞行梦想以及NASA到达月球的梦想。

“At Geosystems, I’m very fortunate I’m working together with quite a number of dreamers that not only challenge the status quo but also make dreams true,”dold说。

超越映射

With transformation taking place in the airborne mapping business, 5D digital realities are not only possible but becoming accessible to everyone. Dold exemplified this by providing a historical timeline, detailing the century it took to convert from film to digital cameras, from analog plates to pixels.

“This transformation unleashes the power and potential to think in different dimensions and completely new scales,”dold说。“数据集已接管，不仅促进了新的自动化水平，还促进了新的业务模型，提供了扩展生态系统的机会。”

As an example of this expanding ecosystem, Dold showcased theHXGN内容程序。子提供优质机载图像数据scription service, the Program demonstrates society’s move to a sharing economy through Content as a Service (CaaS). Dold provided three reasons for this transformation:

1. Accurate, high-resolution and updated data tailored to specific needs
2. Online streaming to improve access
3. Affordability of the service through the sharing business model

Moving forward, the airborne imagery in the Program is being provided to startup companies to further develop and test Artificial Intelligence (AI) algorithms. This drives added value to the mapping process, enabling applications such as autonomous vehicles and available parking throughout cities by way of high-definition 3D digital models.

“我们不知道AI将带我们多远，但是我们坚信，具有更强大算法的更高分辨率数据可以加快这些算法将带给我们的准确性和结果，”dold说。“对于那些正在映射的人，他们完全了解我们在这些映射过程中可以获得多少自动化。”

Dold在这些过程中扩展了这些过程，重点是通过揭开瑞士西雅图和卢塞恩的拉斯维加斯数据集的传感器融合。有了最逼真的苍蝇，城市被捕获Leica CityMapper，将LiDAR和成像技术融合在一起，以提供详细的城市景观，直至树木的确切成像。在城市街道的下方，在数据集中还揭示了管道穿透雷达（GPR）技术。

Beyond mining

从鸟类的城市景观中，多尔德（Dold）陷入了矿山深处，以提高世界各地景点的安全性。通过数字化矿山，它们变得更加可靠，有效和有效。在采矿行业拥有50年的历史，GeoSystems开发了数字解决方案，以推动业务并使矿工更安全。

Launching one of those solutions onstage, Dold unveiled theHxGN MineProtect Operator Alertness System Light Vehicle (OAS-LV)and explained how 65 per cent of all open-pit mining incidents are related to fatigue, the inspiration for this new safety-enhancing technology. Sensing the openness of a driver’s eyes in the cab of a vehicle, the OAS-LV sounds a real-time alert, both inside the cab and back at the control centre, if signs of fatigue are detected. By digitising the driver’s face and using analytics, the data is fed into an Internet of Things (IoT) environment with location-based information to reduce fatigue-related accidents by 85 per cent.

“[The OAS-LV] is the perfect example of when we speak about making the world machine readable and creating critical information with analytics … saving lives and costs,”dold说。“Every mine should be efficient, and that’s what we foster with our digital solutions. In addition, we go beyond efficient mining by improving safety dramatically.”

超越建筑

Returning to middle earth, when discussing the construction industry, Dold focused on the ecosystem of buildings. Seeing the opportunity in the challenge, he explained how digitalisation can take this underserved industry to the next level with digital solutions for the entire lifecycle of a building.

“Construction is not a one-man job,”他解释说。“It’s not about digitalising your employees; it’s about digitalising the entire process that brings perfection and efficiency for your project.”

Dold继续分享了几种支持整个过程的新技术，这些技术是从计划到翻新的整个生命周期。他从Leica DSXandIDS GeoRadar Opera Duoutility detection solutions in the planning phase. Using GPR technology, the DSX and Opera Duo make the invisible visible. With an array of software selections to use in combination, safety and efficiency are increased when construction and utility professionals can precisely locate assets below the ground and plan operations to avoid striking them.

在施工阶段的下一个，Leica iCON iCT30construction layout tool was showcased by Dold for its seamless connection of design to real-world building. The unique technology predicts the path of the construction professional, preventing errors and increasing time savings.

In the commissioning phase,Multivista imagery has now been integrated with the Leica BLK3D handheld imager。这些合并技术的施工进度文档工作流程提高了对施工人员的认识，承包商需要更好地理解和验证现场的发展。

For renovation, thec-thrueconcrete scanner enables construction professionals to see through walls for cables, rebar and other potential strike risks. Increasing safety and efficiency, the C-Thrue converts the insides of walls into digital models using Augmented Reality (AR) to display results.

最后，在运营阶段，Dold在舞台上启动，分享了受欢迎的Leica BLK家族的两个最新成员之一。重点是扩大建筑市场的生态系统，新的Leica BLK247是一种自主监视解决方案，可使建筑物机器可读并受分析的约束。BLK247提供启用3D现实捕获功能的连续边缘计算功能，为建筑物和周围的建筑物提供了3D情况意bob综合app赌博识。随着公共安全和智能制造中的应用程序，这种新的数字解决方案会引起人们的意识，无论是否留下对象，从一个位置转移到另一个位置以及观察到的空间中的其他3D变更相关事件。

“It’s a beginning of a journey …. And we are very excited to extend this reach and new ecosystems we may have not touched before,”dold说。“这些是激动人心的时刻。”

Beyond surveying

2019年标志着200th anniversary of Geosystemsserving the surveying field. From the 1819 beginnings of the company Kern to the 1921 founding of Wild Heerbrugg to the 1990 formation of Leica Geosystems to the 2005 acquisition by Hexagon, the organisation has a long history of revolutionsing and innovating the world of survey.

“今天，我们的投资组合是一套丰富的，完整的无限连接的调查解决方案，可以使数据起作用。”dold说。

然后他继续解释了如何Leica Infinitysoftware connects all the Geosystems survey solutions from field to office. Users are able to expand their business capabilities from traditional, accurate survey practices to advanced, reality capture techniques based on merging sensors across total stations, laser scanners and imaging instruments.

Reviewing a history of fusing technologies, such as LiDAR and imaging, laser scanning and distance measurement, wearable and Simultaneous Localisation and Mapping (SLAM) technology, Dold unveiled the second newest member of the BLK family. TheLeica Blk2go手持式成像激光扫描仪从舞台上升起，BLK系列标志性绿灯乐队好像是魔术一样。

“有了这个blk2go，我们实现了一个梦想，将现实捕获放在您的手掌中。”bob综合app赌博dold说。“Is this not a piece of art? A piece of art our engineering and design team performed to give this high-tech solution a beautiful appearance truly unmatched in our industry … so much technology into such a small device.”

这Leica Blk2go手持式成像激光扫描仪将四个关键元素融合在一起：

1. 传感器融合
2. Mobility
3. 同时本地化和映射
4. Simplicity-driven design

Combining technologies, such as visual inertial navigation with LiDAR-based navigation, the BLK2GO orients itself as it is moved throughout the most challenging environments to create a 3D map. This instrument further democratises reality capture to enable more professionals to digitalise their own worlds and, in turn, making them machine readable for limitless possibilities.

超越现实

Returning to Disney’s famous quote, Dold closed his keynote with a charge to the audience to become inspired, move beyond the realm of what is thought possible, and achieve the impossible. When the world becomes machine readable and subject to the power of algorithms, the potential of thousands of new companies and millions of new ideas will be unleashed.

“我们找到了……突破极限，超越当今现实，创造新现实的方法，”总结了。“Dream your dreams, how you can foster digitalisation in your businesses. Never forget, if you can dream it, you can do it.”
