Systems and methods providing a computerized eyewear device to aid in welding
TLDR
In this paper, a virtual reality arc welding system and a computerized eyewear device having a head-up display (HUD) have been discussed for assisting a welder or welding student.Abstract:
Systems and methods to aid a welder or welding student. A system may provide a real-world arc welding system or a virtual reality arc welding system along with a computerized eyewear device having a head-up display (HUD). The computerized eyewear device may be worn by a user under a conventional welding helmet as eye glasses are worn and may wirelessly communicate with a welding power source of a real-world arc welding system or a programmable processor-based subsystem of a virtual reality arc welding system.read more

Matthew Wayne Wallace,David Anthony Zboray,Antonius Aditjandra,Adam Lee Webb,Deanna Postlethwaite,Zachary Steven Lenker +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a simulator for virtual welding activity in real-time, which includes a foot pedal device in operative communication with the logic processor based subsystem and configured to affect a characteristic of the virtual weld puddle in real time, responsive to user control of the foot pedal devices.
Patent
System and method for manual welder training
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a method for manual welder training that includes providing a welding training apparatus that includes both hardware and software components and that is operative to gather and process data in real-time, wherein the data is derived from an actual training exercise conducted by a welding trainee.
Patent
Sensor assisted head mounted displays for welding
TL;DR: In this article, a semi-transparent display for welding is presented, where an optical sensor collects an image of a weld environment and an augmented reality controller determines a simulated object to be presented in a field of view, a position in the field-of-view, and a perspective of the simulated object in the view-finder.
Patent
System for characterizing manual welding operations
TL;DR: In this paper, a system for characterizing manual welding exercises and providing valuable training to welders that includes components for generating, capturing, and processing data is presented, which includes a fixture, workpiece, at least one calibration devices each having at least two point markers integral therewith, and a welding tool.

Topology matching for fully automatic similarity estimation of 3D shapes
TL;DR: A novel technique is proposed, called Topology Matching, in which similarity between polyhedral models is quickly, accurately, and automatically calculated by comparing Multiresolutional Reeb Graphs (MRGs), which operates well as a search key for 3D shape data sets.
