Abstract:
A training-assistance system using mobile augmented reality (AR) for outdoor-facility inspection was designed, developed, and evaluated. In inspection training for pole-mounted communication facilities for electric power supply operation, the realization of efficient, effective, and autonomous learning is desired. In light of these, three AR functions supporting inspection training, namely, pole navigation, visualization for facility attributes, and facility-defect search, were proposed. To realize these functions, a hybrid tracking method for accurate AR overlaying was proposed. Moreover, a prototype system was developed and evaluated at a real training site. The evaluation results show that the proposed system supports efficient, effective, and autonomous learning. In other words, AR technology can be applied to training in outdoor-facility inspection.
