AR NAVI Geomoni II, a new system for structural installation guidance and controlling work progress

AR NAVI Geomoni II is a new system that uses video-based augmented reality technology for positioning marine structures and controlling their work progress. It is an innovative system which enhances installation accuracy with an added AR (Augmented Reality) function to the original “Geomoni” hardware.

The original “Geomoni” displays limited data including the central axis of pile bodies or the design lines of either right or left side of the piles. It simply provides pile head center positions or pile inclinations, and is unadoptable in determining the quantity deviation of the piles from their original design lines.

New “Geomoni II” is proud of its advanced display property of design lines merited from the evolution of AR technology, enabling to display; 1.Multiple design lines based on accurate positioning degree, 2. Three-dimensional and structural geometry design lines and 3.Optimal grid lines matching with overlaid video in the monitor. Other features include centralized numerical control of driven piles (pile head center positions, upper end height and inclinations), installation control of large-scale structures (caissons, jackets and steel plates) using three-dimensional design lines, as well as determining the deviating quantity of piles from their original design lines.

Display of design lines

It is applicable for construction management of various structures regardless of size or figure, by displaying three-dimensional images of various types of structural geometries in wireframe models or polygonal models. Users can also benefit from the display property of arbitrary-shaped design lines in accordance with the desired purpose of work progress control.

Display of multiple lines in parallel with design lines

The deviations from the design lines can be determined quantitatively by displaying multiple design lines, which are drawn according to arbitrarily-set degrees of positioning accuracy, along with the grid lines corresponding to overlaid video display in the monitor.

Real time monitoring

It saves time in the pile positioning and enhance workability brought by real time monitoring of structural position and work progress by barge operators.
