The excavator’s current articulation and the location of the nearest buried assets

is then projected on the display along with the AR view. The computed distance

to the nearest buried assets is also displayed, along with identifying attributes to

help the operator correlate the presented information to utility lines displayed in

the AR view.

14.4.2.5 Experimental Results

The robustness of the designed excavator–utility proximity detection methodology

was tested in a series of eld experiments using ARMOR and the SMART frame-

work. In particular, electricity conduits in the vicinity of the G.G. Brown Building at

the University of Michigan were exported as Keyhole Modeling Language ( ...
