Software platform provider Pointivo announced yesterday the issuance of a new patent entitled “Systems and Methods for Generating of 3D Information on a Users Display for Processing of Sensor Data for Objects, Components, or Features of Interest in a Scene.” The company’s software is designed for asset inspection using AI and computer vision for the telecom infrastructure, energy and utilities sectors.
This patent covers displaying different kinds of data synchronized for the user so they can most efficiently complete tasks associated with asset inspection. Data can include high-resolution images captured from a drone, a 3D model generated from the images, either mesh or point clouds. It also protects synchronizing data from different drone captures at different times, which is a critical capability in offering automated solutions in the asset inspection market. With this patent, (No. 11,216,663), Pointivo owns 10 issued U.S. patents, with several other U.S. and foreign patent applications pending.
“Pointivo’s novel and powerful user interface was designed to empower users to benefit from drones in the asset inspection space,” said Dan Ciprari, CEO and Co-Founder, Pointivo. “In 2021, Pointivo’s customers processed 120,000 assets, saving an estimated 300,000 hours of effort normally spent climbing and manually inspecting roofs or towers.”
“The method by which Pointivo brings images together with the 3D model sets it apart from the competition,” said Alex Daly, VP of NB+C Technical Services. “It greatly increases data reliability and allows tower engineers to perform their tasks with increased efficiency. Drones will become a standard part of what we do on a daily basis.”
