Scientists from the East Siberian State University of Technology and Management (VSGUTU, located in Ulan-Ude) have received a patent for an augmented reality (Artificial reality, AR) program to simplify the assembly of aircraft parts.
AR technologies will help manufacturers of aircraft units and components to simplify the process of assembly, installation and control. The IT product projects images of structural elements of products onto the surfaces of objects, the university explained.
According to Tsybik Tsydypov, Head of the Department of Aircraft and Helicopter Construction at VSGUTU, augmented and virtual reality technologies are relevant in aircraft construction. The program patented by the university helps to solve the problems of calibrating the projector, determining the scale factor and creating an image for projection onto 3D objects.
In addition, the university has developed a program for pixel coloring of objects. With the help of the software, specialists analyze a three-dimensional model of an object, divide it into faces and select colors according to the coloring table. The output is a colored three-dimensional object with which aircraft manufacturers can work.
