Abstract

A display device and the like capable of displaying an entire measurement target and desired details are provided. A display device according to the present disclosure includes: a global display unit that displays a point cloud image generated using three-dimensional data including three-dimensional coordinate values of a measurement target; a position designation unit that designates a one-dimensional position in the three-dimensional data; and a local display unit that generates and displays a detailed image of the three-dimensional data based on the one-dimensional position designated by the position designation unit.

Claims (26)

1 . A display device comprising:

at least one memory storing instructions, and

at least one processor configured to execute the instructions to;

generate a point cloud image using three-dimensional data including three-dimensional coordinate values of an elongated measurement target, display the generated point cloud image, and display an entire image of a one-dimensional direction corresponding to a longitudinal direction in the point cloud image;

designate a one-dimensional position corresponding to the longitudinal direction in the three-dimensional data; and

generate and display a detailed image of the three-dimensional data based on the designated one-dimensional position.

2 . The display device according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one processor configured to execute the instructions to display a three-dimensional image within a predetermined range in the one-dimensional direction from the designated position corresponding to the one-dimensional direction in the three-dimensional data.

3 . The display device according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one processor configured to execute the instructions to display at least a two-dimensional image at the designated position corresponding to the one-dimensional direction in the three-dimensional data.

4 . The display device according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one processor configured to execute the instructions to display an abnormal point of the measurement target to correspond to the one-dimensional position.

5 . The display device according to claim 1 , wherein

the three-dimensional data includes time stamp information indicating a measurement time of the measurement target,

the one-dimensional position is a position that is convertible into the time stamp information, and

the at least one processor configured to execute the instructions to display corresponding time stamp information based on a one-dimensional position designated.

6 . The display device according to claim 1 , wherein

the three-dimensional data includes first time stamp information indicating a measurement time of the measurement target,

the at least one processor configured to execute the instructions to display time-series data that has second time stamp information indicating a photographing time, and

based on the one-dimensional position designated by the position designation unit, the at least one processor configured to execute the instructions to display time-series data that has the second time stamp information that is the same as the first time stamp information of the detailed image displayed.

7 . The display device according to claim 1 , wherein the elongated measurement target has an elongated shape of 50 m or more in length.

8 . A display method comprising:

generating a point cloud image using three-dimensional data including three-dimensional coordinate values of an elongated measurement target, and displaying the generated point cloud image, and displaying an entire image of a one-dimensional direction corresponding to a longitudinal direction in the point cloud image;

designating a one-dimensional position corresponding to the longitudinal direction in the three-dimensional data; and

generating and displaying a detailed image of the three-dimensional data based on the designated one-dimensional position.

9 . A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing a program causing a computer to perform:

a process of generating a point cloud image using three-dimensional data including three-dimensional coordinate values of an elongated measurement target, displaying the generated point cloud image, and displaying an entire image of a one-dimensional direction corresponding to a longitudinal direction in the point cloud image;

a process of designating a one-dimensional position corresponding to the longitudinal direction in the three-dimensional data; and

a process of generating and displaying a detailed image of the three-dimensional data based on the designated one-dimensional position.
