Abstract: Development of an AR application for planning and visualizing photovoltaic systems [DE]
Jaroslaw Lang, Development of an AR application for planning and visualizing photovoltaic systems, Hochschule Düsseldorf, Bachelor thesis, 14.08.2023.
Augmented Reality (AR) has made significant progress in recent years. Due to its
potential to seamlessly integrate virtual content into the user's environment,
AR has gained popularity. This thesis provides an overview of AR tracking,
particularly focusing on the markerless approach and offers insights into current
research trends. Various tracking methods are presented and explained.
Furthermore, this bachelor's thesis examines and evaluates the feasibility of an
AR application for the visualization and planning of photovoltaic systems
on sloped roofs. The developed prototype enables the measurement of roof areas
and slopes, as well as the real-time visualization of photovoltaic systems. Field tests show that
modern consumer devices, such as the iPad, are capable of extracting accurate
geometric data of the target object. Additionally, it was demonstrated that
determining the absolute scale of the scene is feasible and the achieved accuracy
is sufficient for positioning photovoltaic modules.
