description An enhanced reality maintenance system for operating in a hazardous or inaccessible environment employs an environment modeler which is supplied with spatial parameters of a given environment and creates a computer model of the environment. An environment renderer creates a plurality of images, each corresponding to a viewing location and orientation, 'viewpoint'. A remotely operated vehicle (ROV) attached to a base unit by a tether cord or radio link navigates in the environment. The ROV has a spatial imaging device, such as a video camera, and actuators which propel it through the environment. Its position and orientation are determined by a position and attitude (P&A) sensing unit, and are passed to an ROV renderer which creates an image of a prestored model of the ROV having the same location and orientation as the ROV and viewed from a specified viewpoint. The viewpoints may be predetermined, provided to the system or may be interactively determined as an offset from the ROV position and orientation. Alternative embodiments include an image archive and comparison unit capable of storing images linked to information of the image acquisition, retrieving stored images with the image acquisition into and transforming one of the images to match the image acquisition information of the other image.
