ABSTRACT:
Apparatus, and a related method, for photographing the interior of a building to which access by personnel has been limited or denied because of contamination of some kind, and then converting the resulting photographic images to a three-dimensional digital model, which may be used to generate different types of information for safe and efficient decontamination or deconstruction of the building. In the embodiment of the invention disclosed herein by way of example, the photographs are taken by personnel in protective clothing or by a remotely controlled mobile robot. Then the photographic images are digitized and processed to create a three-dimensional model stored in a database. The model database is updated to include information not in the original photographs, and then used to create additional interior views, animated videos of the interior, real-time computer displays, or drawings in a conventional computer aided design (CAD) format. The drawings are used to facilitate a contaminant survey of the building interior, using personnel or the mobile robot to carry contaminant detectors. The contaminant data are overlayed on the drawings to provide a contaminant dose map of the interior.
