Abstract[English]
The application discloses various systems and methods for generating and utilizing computer animation transition methods and systems in the leveling of a video to an upright, earth normal orientation which may be used in pipe inspections. Such computer animation transitions may be generated from a single inspection image at one time in the inspection video or from subsequent inspection images at different times and points in space in the inspection video. Some leveling methods may include rotating a square GL surface in ninety degree increments that includes one or more computer animation transition. Other leveling methods may also include rotating a three dimensional GL surface that is shaped to match the shape of the pipe that includes one or more. Further methods may include rotating a GL surface that is a regular polygon in shape that includes one or more computer animation transition.[French]
La demande divulgue divers systèmes et procédés pour générer et utiliser des procédés et des systèmes de transition d'animation informatique lors de la mise de niveau d'une vidéo vers une orientation verticale, normale à la terre, qui peut être utilisée dans des inspections de canalisation. De telles transitions d'animation informatique peuvent être générées à partir d'une image d'inspection unique à un moment donné dans la vidéo d'inspection ou à partir d'images d'inspection ultérieures à différents moments et points dans l'espace dans la vidéo d'inspection. Certains procédés de mise de niveau peuvent comprendre la rotation d'une surface GL carrée en incréments de quatre-vingt-dix degrés qui comprend une ou plusieurs transitions d'animation informatique. D'autres procédés de mise de niveau peuvent également comprendre la rotation d'une surface GL tridimensionnelle qui est façonnée pour être assortie à la forme de la canalisation. D'autres procédés peuvent comprendre la rotation d'une surface GL qui présente une forme en polygone régulier qui comprend une ou plusieurs transitions d'animation informatique.
