SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR AUGMENTING REALITY DURING A SITE SURVEY USING AN UNMANNED AERIAL VEHICLE

Abstract:

Systems and methods are provided for augmented reality during an automated site survey of a building using an unmanned aerial vehicle so that results of the site survey are substantially consistent, irrespective of whether the site survey is conducted when the building is bare or after systems and devices in the building are installed. Some methods can include retrieving a building information model of the building from a database device, receiving user input and, responsive thereto, transmitting navigation signals to the unmanned aerial vehicle to maneuver to a site survey position in the building and transmitting command signals to the unmanned aerial vehicle to conduct a RF test at the site survey position and return site survey results, and calculating signal degradation for the site survey position as a function of the site survey results and the building information model.
