A system and method updates Computer Aided Design (CAD) models. An augmented reality view of a subject asset is displayed. User interaction therewith causes a CAD model updater to search a CAD database for corresponding CAD model of the subject asset. The CAD model updater displays the CAD model view of the subject as...

A system for generating texture maps for 3D models of real-world objects includes a camera and reflective surfaces in the field of view of the camera. The reflective surfaces are positioned to reflect one or more reflected views of a target object to the camera. The camera captures a direct image of the target object ...

The invention is directed to a method for designing a modeled object within a session of CAD system interacting with a database. The method comprises: - detecting a designing operation performed by a user and applied to an initial modeled object within the session; - computing a signature from a set of properties of t...

A computer tool generates user-defined diminished reality images of a subject environment from source images. The diminished reality images display less real-world objects in the subject environment than that displayed in the source images. A 3D model of the subject environment in diminished reality is formed from the...
