Abstract

A database stores reference photographs of an assembly. The reference photographs are from different orientations relative to the assembly. By matching the query photograph to one or more of the reference photographs, the pose of the assembly in the query photograph is determined. Based on the pose, the pixels of the two-dimensional query photograph are related to a three-dimensional representation from engineering data. Using labeled parts from the engineering data, the parts represented in the query photograph are identified, and part information (e.g., segmentation, number, or other metadata) is provided relative to the query photograph.
