Assignee:

Autodesk, Inc. - San Rafael CA

International Classification:

G06F 17/50
G06F 7/00

US Classification:

703 1, 715964, 707 3

Abstract:

A computer implemented system, method, and article of manufacture provide access to a drawing. A server computer has one or more server component applications. One or more drawing files are created by a first drawing application and stored on the server computer. A search server component application executes on the server computer and provides a query engine that allows queries of the one or more drawing files to locate data. A conversion server component application executes on the server computer and dynamically convert the drawing files into a drawing file format viewable by a client application executing on a client compute. The server component applications are further configured to provide the one or more drawing files that have been dynamically converted to the client computer.

International Classification:

G06T 120

US Classification:

345506

Abstract:

The present invention discloses an apparatus, method, and article of manufacture for generating graphic images. In accordance with the present invention, an application program receives commands from a computer user via an input device and provides an output command stream to a plurality of renderer programs. The renderer programs selectively modify the output command stream and transmit the output command stream to a graphics peripheral device or to one or more of the other renderer programs.

Abstract:

A method for vision-based tool localization (VTL) in a robotic assembly system including one or more calibrated cameras, the method comprising capturing a plurality of images of the tool contact area from a plurality of different vantage points, determining an estimated position of the tool contact area based on an image, and refining the estimated position based on another image from another vantage point. The method further comprises providing the refined position to the robotic assembly system to enable accurate control of the tool by the robotic assembly system.
