Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A position/pose acquisition unit acquires a position and a pose of a viewpoint in a real space. A site data disposition unit disposes site data which is three-dimensional data representing a shape of a construction site in a virtual space on the basis of the position and the pose of the viewpoint. A machine data disposition unit disposes machine data which is three-dimensional data representing a shape of a work machine at a position corresponding to the site data in the virtual space. A rendering unit renders the disposed machine data.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

1 . A display control device comprising: a position/pose acquisition unit that acquires a position and a pose of a viewpoint in a real space; a site data disposition unit that disposes site data which is three-dimensional data representing a shape of a construction site in a virtual space on the basis of the position and the pose of the viewpoint; a machine data disposition unit that disposes machine data which is three-dimensional data representing a shape of a work machine at a position corresponding to the site data in the virtual space; and a rendering unit that renders the disposed machine data. 2 . The display control device according to claim 1 , wherein the rendering unit renders the disposed machine data by changing a position or a pose of the machine data with time. 3 . The display control device according to claim 2 , further comprising: a dynamic state setting unit that sets a dynamic state of the machine data, wherein the rendering unit renders the disposed machine data by changing the position or the pose of the machine data with time according to the dynamic state set by the dynamic state setting unit. 4 . The display control device according to claim 1 , wherein the rendering unit renders one of a plurality of positions or a plurality of poses of the disposed machine data. 5 . The display control device according to claim 1 , wherein the machine data has a movable portion, and wherein the rendering unit renders the machine data by changing a pose of the movable portion of the disposed machine data. 6 . The display control device according to claim 1 , further comprising: an image acquisition unit that acquires an image captured by an imaging device, wherein the position/pose acquisition unit acquires a position and a pose of a viewpoint of the imaging device. 7 . The display control device according to claim 6 , wherein the rendering unit combines the rendered machine data with the image. 8 . The display control device according to claim 6 , further comprising: a site data acquisition unit that acquires the site data on the basis of the image. 9 . The display control device according to claim 1 , wherein the position/pose acquisition unit acquires a position and a pose of the display control device. 10 . The display control device according to claim 1 , wherein the position/pose acquisition unit acquires a position and a pose of an HMD which displays the rendered machine data. 11 . A display control method comprising the steps of: acquiring a position and a pose of a viewpoint in a real space; disposing site data which is three-dimensional data representing a shape of a construction site in a virtual space on the basis of the position and the pose of the viewpoint; disposing machine data which is three-dimensional data representing a shape of a work machine at a position corresponding to the site data in the virtual space; and rendering the disposed machine data. 12 . A program causing a computer to execute the steps of: acquiring a position and a pose of a viewpoint in a real space; disposing site data which is three-dimensional data representing a shape of a construction site in a virtual space on the basis of the position and the pose of the viewpoint; disposing machine data which is three-dimensional data representing a shape of a work machine at a position corresponding to the site data in the virtual space; and rendering the disposed machine data. 13 . A display system comprising: a position/pose measurement unit that measures a position and a pose of a viewpoint in a real space; a site data disposition unit that disposes site data which is three-dimensional data representing a shape of a construction site in a virtual space on the basis of the position and the pose of the viewpoint; a machine data disposition unit that disposes machine data which is three-dimensional data representing a shape of a work machine at a position corresponding to the site data in the virtual space; a rendering unit that renders the disposed machine data; and a display unit that displays the rendered machine data. 14 . The display control device according to claim 2 , wherein the machine data has a movable portion, and wherein the rendering unit renders the machine data by changing a pose of the movable portion of the disposed machine data. 15 . The display control device according to claim 3 , wherein the machine data has a movable portion, and wherein the rendering unit renders the machine data by changing a pose of the movable portion of the disposed machine data. 16 . The display control device according to claim 2 , further comprising: an image acquisition unit that acquires an image captured by an imaging device, wherein the position/pose acquisition unit acquires a position and a pose of a viewpoint of the imaging device. 17 . The display control device according to claim 16 , wherein the rendering unit combines the rendered machine data with the image. 18 . The display control device according to claim 7 , further comprising: a site data acquisition unit that acquires the site data on the basis of the image. 19 . The display control device according to claim 2 , wherein the position/pose acquisition unit acquires a position and a pose of the display control device. 20 . The display control device according to claim 2 , wherein the position/pose acquisition unit acquires a position and a pose of an HMD which displays the rendered machine data.
