Crane information display system
A crane information display system includes a terminal device having a camera, and obtains camera images by imaging, with the camera, a first information display unit that displays information about a crane, the crane information display system including: a crane information acquisition unit that reads, from the camera images, display information of the first information display unit to acquire information about the crane; a virtual crane generation unit that generates a virtual crane image; a position/posture calculation unit that calculates, from the camera images, a position at which the virtual crane is to be disposed and a posture to be taken by the virtual crane; an information processing unit that converts the virtual crane image into an image that corresponds to the position and the posture of the virtual crane; and an image display unit that overlays and displays the virtual crane onto the camera images.
1. A crane information display system comprising:
a first information display device that is installed at a location where a crane is scheduled to be installed and that displays information about the crane, by characters, marks, signs or patterns provided for the surfaces thereof, and
a terminal device that mounts a camera to obtain a camera image by imaging, with the camera, the first information display device,
wherein the terminal device comprises a hardware processor configured to
read, from the camera image, display information of the first information display device to acquire information about the crane,
generate, on a basis of the acquired information about the crane, image information about a virtual crane that corresponds to a three-dimensional image of the crane,
read, from the camera image, the display information of the first information display device to acquire information about a reference shape of the first information display device, and extract, from the camera image, information about an outline shape of the first information display device that appears in the camera image, and calculate, on a basis of the reference shape of the first information display device and the information about the outline shape of the first information display device, a position at which the virtual crane is to be disposed and a posture to be taken by the virtual crane in the camera image,
convert the generated image information about the virtual crane into image information that corresponds to the calculated position and the posture of the virtual crane, and
overlay and display, onto the camera image, the virtual crane about which the image information has been converted.
2. The crane information display system according to claim 1 , wherein the hardware processor is further configured to
convert the acquired information about the crane into a three-dimensional image information that corresponds to the calculated position and the posture of the virtual crane, and
display, on the camera image, the virtual crane about which the image information has been converted.
3. The crane information display system according to claim 2 , further comprising a second information display device that is installed at a position onto which the crane is scheduled to unload a hung load,
wherein the hardware processor is further configured to
read, from the camera image, display information of the second information display device disposed at a position onto which the crane is going to unload a hung load to acquire a reference shape of the second information display device, and extract, from the camera image, information about an outline shape of the second information display device that appears in the camera image, and calculate, on a basis of the reference shape of the second information display device and the information about the outline shape of the second information display device, a relative position of the second information display device from the first information display device, and
convert, on a basis of the relative position of the second information display device from the first information display device, the acquired information about the crane, into the three-dimensional image information that corresponds to a work position at a time when the crane unloads the hung load.
4. The crane information display system according to claim 2 , wherein the terminal device further comprises an input device into which a protrusion amount of an outrigger of the virtual crane is input, and
wherein the hardware processor is further configured to generate, on a basis of information about an outrigger of the crane specified from the display information of the first information display device, and an input value input into the input device, image information about a virtual outrigger that corresponds to a three-dimensional image of the outrigger, as information about the crane as a display object.
5. The crane information display system according to claim 2 , wherein the terminal device further comprises an input device into which a hung load weight and a length of a boom of the crane are input, and
wherein the hardware processor is further configured to calculate a possible work area of the crane as information about the crane as a display object, on a basis of information about a machine type of the crane specified from the display information of the first information display device, and input values input into the input device.
6. The crane information display system according to claim 1 , wherein the information about the crane includes information about a tail swing area of the crane.
