Georeferenced 360-Degree Photos for Enhancing Navigation and Interaction within Virtual Electric Power Substations.

This work introduces a methodology for improving virtual navigation and interaction within power substations by employing georeferenced 360-degree photos. The objective is to swiftly update the current state of the field since, in most cases, incorporating such amendments is not feasible during the reconstruction of virtual environments. This changing speed is very important for critical systems. Preliminary results demonstrate successful updating rates, enabling engineers to make rapid decisions. It is expected that the proposed methodology can improve the efficiency and dependability of step-by-step activities, while also reducing the time and costs associated with system maintenance.
