Abstract

A calibration work support system includes an input device for inputting machine information including machine rank data on a hydraulic excavator and specification data on a front work implement, a display controller that generates a target posture image that is an image of the case in which the front work implement that takes target measurement posture is viewed with a point-of-view position and a line-of-sight direction of an operator M on the basis of the machine information input from the input device and target posture data defined in advance as the target measurement posture of the front work implement when an inertial measurement device is calibrated, and an HMD that displays the target posture image generated in the display controller. The HMD executes displaying in such a manner that the target posture image is superimposed on the actual front work implement viewed with the point-of-view position and the line-of-sight direction of the operator M.

Claims (18)

1. A calibration work support system that supports calibration work of an inertial measurement device attached to a work device included in a work machine, the calibration work support system comprising:

an input device for inputting machine information including machine rank data on the work machine and specification data on the work device,

a controller configured to generate a target posture image that is an image of a case in which the work device that takes target measurement posture is viewed from a predetermined point-of-view position in a predetermined line-of-sight direction on a basis of the machine information input from the input device and target posture data defined in advance as the target measurement posture of the work device when the inertial measurement device is calibrated, and

a display device that displays the target posture image generated in the controller, wherein

the display device is configured to be capable of superimposing the target posture image on the work device that is actual and is viewed from the predetermined point-of-view position in the predetermined line-of-sight direction.

2. The calibration work support system according to claim 1 , wherein

the display device is a transmissive display disposed on a front side of an operator who rides on the work machine,

the predetermined point-of-view position and the predetermined line-of-sight direction are a point-of-view position and a line-of-sight direction of the operator,

the calibration work support system further includes a measurement device that measures the point-of-view position and the line-of-sight direction of the operator, and

the controller is configured to generate, as the target posture image, a target posture image when the work device that takes the target measurement posture is viewed with the point-of-view position and the line-of-sight direction of the operator on a basis of the machine information input from the input device, the target posture data, and the point-of-view position and the line-of-sight direction of the operator measured by the measurement device.

3. The calibration work support system according to claim 2 , wherein

the display device is a transmissive head-mounted display worn by the operator who rides on the work machine,

the measurement device is a camera mounted on the head-mounted display and is a camera that photographs a two-dimensional marker set on the front side of a cab of the work machine, and

the controller is configured to calculate the point-of-view position and the line-of-sight direction of the operator on a basis of internal parameters of the camera and a shape of the two-dimensional marker on a photographed image by the camera.

4. The calibration work support system according to claim 1 , wherein

the predetermined point-of-view position and the predetermined line-of-sight direction are an attachment position and an optical axis direction of a camera attached to the work machine,

the controller is configured to generate, as the target posture image, a target posture image when the work device that takes the target measurement posture is viewed by the camera on a basis of the machine information input from the input device, the target posture data, and the attachment position and the optical axis direction of the camera, and

the display device is a display disposed on a front side of an operator who rides on the work machine and displays the work device that is actual and is photographed by the camera and the target posture image in a superimposing manner.
