Abstract: A method is provided that includes rendering for display, a digital three-dimensional (3D) model of a structural product composed of a plurality of parts, with the digital 3D model being observed from a home viewpoint. Input is received to navigate the digital 3D model to a part of the plurality of parts, observation of the digital 3D model being moved from the home viewpoint to a navigated viewpoint. A digital label is generated that includes information specifying the navigated viewpoint and includes information for the part. The digital label may be output to a label recorder configured to record the digital label on a physical medium and thereby produce a corresponding physical label. At least the navigated viewpoint of the digital 3D model in the digital label and corresponding physical label are in a machine-readable format and capable of being machine-read to automatically restore the digital 3D model at the navigated viewpoint.

Abstract: Systems and methods for synchronized display of visualizations of three-dimensional (3-D) models and video images of aircraft for use in assembly of an aircraft. A video display process is configured to process the video image data so that the video images will have a user-selected viewpoint when displayed. In one embodiment, the user selects a virtual view direction and a smaller field-of-view from a full 360-degree field-of-view. A client request process is configured to construct and transmit a command data string containing encoded data specifying parameter values of the viewpoint representation formatted for 3-D model visualization. A server response process is configured to receive and decode the command data string into the specified parameter values representing the user-selected viewpoint for three-dimensional model visualization. A 3-D model visualization process is configured to process the 3-D model data so that 3-D model visualizations will have the user-selected viewpoint when displayed.

Abstract: Systems and methods that enable the synchronized display of both “as-built” and “as-designed” representations and automated data updates of a target object of interest (e.g., specific line number aircraft). More specifically, the process allows users to display a panoramic image captured for a reference environment, and then display a visualization of the corresponding 3-D model at the same viewpoint. Interprocess communication between a panoramic image viewer application and a 3-D model visualization application provides the ability to synchronize viewpoints, fields-of-view and other display features.

Abstract: Systems and methods for supplying an open interface (e.g., web pages) for viewpoint navigation control of a three-dimensional (3-D) visualization of an object that is simple to create and fast and easy to use. This viewpoint navigation control application allows users to control the viewpoint in a 3-D environment by interacting with (e.g., clicking on) a 2-D hyperlink layout within a web browser (or other 2-D viewer with hyperlink capability). Position and orientation data for a selected viewpoint are transferred as part of a command message sent to the 3-D visualization application through an application programming interface when users select a hyperlink from a web page displayed by the 2-D layout application. The 3-D visualization application then retrieves data and displays a view of at least a portion of the 3-D model of the object with the predefined viewpoint specified in the command message.
