The digital twin can be saved on a computer-readable storage medium for later retrieval, and can be loaded into three-dimensional modeling software for manipulation and viewing from various angles and perspectives. The twin is created from a plurality of imaging systems capturing different surfaces or different aspects, whose measurements are mapped to a uniform coordinate system to generate a three-dimensional model. Other data may also be added to or stored with the digital twin, such as manufacturing specifications, photographic data, and current or historical inspection data. The digital twin may be viewed on a mobile device programmed to receive, display, and allow the user to view and manipulate the digital twin.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 19, 2021Publication date: December 29, 2022Inventors: Mark Strong, John Clark, Dave Toups, Inderjeet Singh
