Abstract

It is an object of the present invention to provide a dimensional information management device with which search information about a buried object in a target can be effectively utilized, and the burden on the worker can be reduced, as well as a dimensional information management system comprising this dimensional information management device. A dimensional information management device 40 manages dimensional information about a buried object 51 included in a search image showing the presence or absence of the buried object in a wall surface 50 generated by a buried object scanning device 10 that has been scanned along the wall surface 50 , said dimensional information management device comprising a data receiving unit 41 and a memory unit 43 . The data receiving unit 41 acquires search information including a search image from the buried object scanning device 10 . The memory unit 43 stores the search information acquired by the data receiving unit 41.

Claims (44)

1. A dimensional information management device that manages dimensional information about a buried object included in a search image showing a presence or absence of a buried object in a target generated by a buried object scanning device scanned along the target, the dimensional information management device comprising: a processor configured with a program to perform operations comprising:

acquiring search information including the search image from the buried object scanning device;

storing the acquired search information;

receiving input of construction information comprising the dimension information;

collating the stored search information stored with the construction information, and determining whether the search information matches the construction information, and

creating a construction drawing on the basis of the search information and the corresponding construction information including screwing positions if the search information matches the construction information as a result of the collation, wherein

collating the search information comprises collating the search information with the construction information using the dimensional information related to the buried object comprised in the construction information based on a comparison of portions of a starting point included in the search image and a reference point attached to the target.

2. The dimensional information management device according to claim 1 , wherein the processor is configured with the program to perform operations further comprising:

calling up arbitrary information from the stored search information; and

causing a first display to display the called up search information.

3. The dimensional information management device according to claim 1 , wherein the construction information includes position information that is received as input about the buried object in the target.

4. The dimensional information management device according to claim 1 , wherein the processor is configured with the program to perform operations such that collating the search information comprises collating the search information with the construction information by subjecting the search image including the buried object to pattern matching with drawings included in the construction information.

5. A dimensional information management system, comprising:

the dimensional information management device according to claim 1 , and

a buried object scanning device, configured to transfer the search image to the dimensional information management device.

6. The dimensional information management device according to claim 2 , wherein the processor is configured with the program to perform operations such that causing the first display to display the called up search information comprises controlling the first display so as to display position information about the buried object, whose origin is a starting point of a scan included in the search image, as the search information.

7. The dimensional information management device according to claim 2 , wherein the processor is configured with the program to perform operations such that causing the first display to display the called up search information comprises controlling the first display so as to display a construction drawing in which construction information including position information for the buried object in the target is reflected in the search information.

8. The dimensional information management device according to claim 3 ,

wherein the construction information includes information about at least one of the following: a name and dimensions of the buried object that is a construction target, and a position, type, pitch, and number of screws to be used.

9. The dimensional information management system according to claim 5 ,

wherein the buried object scanning device comprises: a second processor configured with a second program to perform operations comprising:

detecting the presence or absence of the buried object;

converting a detection result from the detection of the presence or absence of the buried object, into the search image;

storing the search image and a grid layer including grid lines corresponding to a predetermined scale; and

displaying the search image and the grid layer on a second display.

10. The dimensional information management device according to claim 3 ,

wherein the processor is configured with the program to perform operations such that collating the search information comprises collating the search information with the construction information by using the starting point included in the search image as a reference point.

11. The dimensional information management system according to claim 9 , wherein the second processor is configured with the second program to perform operations further comprising:

inputting various operations; and

controlling the second display so that the search image and the grid layer are displayed superimposed with respect to each other, and the search image is displayed movable relative to the grid layer in response to the input of the various operations.

12. A dimensional information management method for managing dimensional information about a buried object included in a search image showing a presence or absence of the buried object in a target generated by a buried object scanning device scanned along the target, said dimensional information management method comprising:

acquiring search information including the search image from the buried object scanning device;

storing the acquired search information;

receiving input of construction information comprising the dimension information;

collating the stored search information with the construction information, and determining whether the search information matches the construction information, and

creating a construction drawing on the basis of the search information and the corresponding construction information including screwing positions if the search information matches the construction information as a result of the collation, wherein

collating the stored search information with the construction information comprises collating the search information with the construction information using the dimensional information related to the buried object comprised in the construction information based on a starting point included in the search image and a reference point attached to the target.

13. A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing a dimensional information management program that manages dimensional information about a buried object included in a search image showing a presence or absence of the buried object in a target generated by a buried object scanning device scanned along the target, said dimensional information management program, when read and executed, causing a computer to execute a dimensional information management method comprising:

acquiring search information including the search image from the buried object scanning device; and

storing the acquired search information;

receiving input of construction information comprising the dimension information; and

collating the stored search information with the construction information, and determining whether the search information matches the construction information, and

creating a construction drawing on the basis of the search information and the corresponding construction information including screwing positions if the search information matches the construction information as a result of the collation, wherein

collating the stored search information with the construction information comprises collating the search information with the construction information using the dimensional information related to the buried object comprised in the construction information based on a starting point included in the search image and a reference point attached to the target.
