    Abstract: Systems and methods for physical asset inspection are provided. According to one embodiment, a probe is positioned to multiple data capture positions with reference to a physical asset. For each position: odometry data is obtained from an encoder and/or an IMU; a 2D image is captured by a camera; a 3D sensor data frame is captured by a 3D sensor, having a view plane overlapping that of the camera; the odometry data, the 2D image and the 3D sensor data frame are linked and associated with a physical point in real-world space based on the odometry data; and switching between 2D and 3D views within the collected data is facilitated by forming a set of points containing both 2D and 3D data by performing UV mapping based on a known positioning of the camera relative to the 3D sensor.
