Publication number: 20230079054Abstract: A method for performing an autonomous inspection. The method comprises traversing, by an autonomous sensor apparatus, a path through a site having three-dimensional objects located therein. The site includes three-dimensional objects located therein. The method comprises obtaining, by a plurality of sensors on-board the autonomous sensor apparatus, one or more data sets throughout the path. Each of the one or more data sets are associated with an attribute of one or more three-dimensional objects. The method comprises generating, by the first, second, or third processor, a working model from a collocated data set; and comparing, by the first, second, or third processor, the working model with one or more pre-existing models; to determine the presence and/or absence of anomalies.
