Metal tank data for AI connection and orientation records

Heavy-gauge metal tanks form a defined Census category.

Heavy-gauge metal tanks form a defined Census category. An original drawing task can connect a connection identifier with the reference side and unit record actually supplied. Census metal-tank scope

Draw a fictional cylindrical paper vessel with three labeled external features and a reference marker. Supply a view map and component register. Ask which feature corresponds to a selected drawing callout. Include a rotated view and a later drawing revision that changes the callout numbering. The key should use the reference marker before associating a feature.

Annotate unit, feature, callout, reference direction, drawing revision and view. Hold out a new feature arrangement for evaluation. Score a callout transferred across revisions, rotational ambiguity ignored and unit identity inferred from silhouette independently. A complete case should contain the marker and effective drawing needed for a supported match.

Use original geometry and harmless props. Customer facility information, licensed designs, proprietary fabrication records and inspection material require appropriate authority and specialist review. A licensing proposal should identify the view-mapping task and checked examples. Confirm buyer requirements before preparing commercial files or commissioning further capture.

Original Fiund exercise

Translate clock positions using the fixed reference

An inert paper cylinder has three drawn locators. Its toy map contains no real vessel details or operating attributes.

Fictional records supplied to the evaluator
RecordSourceWhat it records
1MapReference square at 12; feature A at 3; feature B at 9.
2PhotoReference square at image-clock 3; A at 6; B at 12.
3Capture logProp rotated clockwise one quarter turn.

Question for the model

Does the photo indicate a changed layout?

Show the reference answer and checks

No. With the 90° clockwise rotation in record 3, reference 12 maps to image 3, A maps 3 to 6, and B maps 9 to 12. Record 2 agrees with the transformed layout in record 1. The object's relative placement did not change.

  • Comparing uncorrected clock readings
  • Rotating the reference but not the attached features

Fields to preserve

reference_clock
Anchors object orientation
frame_rotation
Maps object coordinates to the image
feature_position
Compares corresponding locators

Test another case

Add a feature at the wrong relative position after rotation and identify only the true layout discrepancy.

Paper geometry only; exclude tank fabrication, connections, contents, ratings and service recommendations.
