Abstract

An input apparatus for inputting a diagnosis result of a diagnosis target detectable for a structure includes circuitry configured to display a spherical image captured for the structure on a screen, receive an input of a position of the diagnosis target in the spherical image, store position information indicating the received position of the diagnosis target in the spherical image in a memory, display, on the screen, the spherical image and a diagnosis information input field used for inputting diagnosis information of the diagnosis target, receive an input of the diagnosis information of the to diagnosis target input via the diagnosis information input field, and store the diagnosis information and the position information indicating the received position of the diagnosis target in the spherical image, in the memory in association with each other.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. An input apparatus for inputting a diagnosis result of a diagnosis target detectable for a structure, comprising:
circuitry configured to
display a spherical image captured for the structure on a screen;
receive an input of a position of the diagnosis target in the spherical image;
store position information indicating the received position of the diagnosis target in the spherical image in a memory;
display, on the screen, the spherical image and a diagnosis information input field used for inputting diagnosis information of the diagnosis target;
receive an input of the diagnosis information of the diagnosis target, input via the diagnosis information input field; and
store the diagnosis information and the position information indicating the received position of the diagnosis target in the spherical image, in the memory in association with each other.

2. The input apparatus according to claim 1 ,
wherein the circuitry superimposes, on the spherical image, an image indicating the diagnosis target in accordance with the position information.

3. The input apparatus according to claim 1 ,
wherein the circuitry receives an input of a diagnosis region including the diagnosis target on the spherical image, and stores the position information corresponding to the received diagnosis region and the diagnosis information of the diagnosis target in the memory in association with each other.

4. The input apparatus according to claim 3 ,
wherein the circuitry displays an image in the diagnosis region on the spherical image, in the diagnosis information input field.

5. The input apparatus according to claim 1 ,
wherein the circuitry displays an image different from the spherical image in the diagnosis information input field.

6. The input apparatus according to claim 1 ,
wherein the circuitry displays the diagnosis information input field by superimposing the diagnosis information input field on a part of the spherical image.

7. The input apparatus according to claim 1 ,
wherein when the circuitry receives an input of a group of positions including a plurality of positions defining the diagnosis target in the spherical image, the circuitry stores position information indicating the received group of positions in the memory.

8. The input apparatus according to claim 1 ,
wherein the circuitry displays a drawing indicating a configuration of the structure and the spherical image on one screen.

9. The input apparatus according to claim 1 ,
wherein the spherical image is a three-dimensional image having three-dimensional information, and the circuitry receives the input of the position having three-dimensional information indicating the diagnosis target.

10. A method of inputting a diagnosis result of a diagnosis target detectable for a structure, the method comprising:
displaying a spherical image captured for the structure on a screen;
receiving an input of a position of the diagnosis target in the spherical image;
storing position information indicating the received position in a memory;
displaying, on the screen, the spherical image and a diagnosis information input field used for inputting diagnosis information of the diagnosis target;
receiving an input of the diagnosis information of the diagnosis target, input via the diagnosis information input field; and
storing the diagnosis information and the position information in the memory in association with each other.

11. An output apparatus for outputting a diagnosis result of a diagnosis target detectable for a structure, comprising:
circuitry configured to
acquire position information indicating a position of the diagnosis target in a spherical image, captured for the structure, and diagnosis information including a diagnosis result of the diagnosis target stored in a memory in association with each other, from the memory; and
output the acquired diagnosis information of the diagnosis target based on the position information associated with the diagnosis information.

12. The output apparatus according to claim 11 ,
wherein the memory stores an image based on the spherical image in association with the position information,
wherein the circuitry acquires the image based on the spherical image from the memory, and outputs the acquired image together with the diagnosis information based on the position information.

13. The output apparatus according to claim 11 ,
wherein the circuitry acquires the spherical image, and displays, on a screen, the spherical image together with information indicating the diagnosis information associated with the position information on the spherical image, by superimposing the information indicating the diagnosis information at a position indicated by the position information on the spherical image.

14. The output apparatus according to claim 11 ,
wherein the circuitry receives an input of designating information indicating the diagnosis information to be superimposed and displayed on the spherical image, and outputs the diagnosis information designated by the input received by the circuitry.
