  • Patent number: 11895396
    Abstract: Provided are an imaging plan presentation apparatus and method capable of presenting an imaging plan to a user in accordance with conditions of images necessary for checking and an imaging range in a captured image. After an imaging unit (14) completes imaging, an imaging plan update unit (15) determines whether an uncaptured area has been identified by an uncaptured-area identification unit (151). If Yes is obtained, the imaging plan update unit (15) updates the imaging plan on the basis of the uncaptured imaging range, and re-generates an imaging plan corresponding to the uncaptured imaging range. Then, an imaging plan presentation unit (13) presents an imaging range to be captured next to a user on the basis of the re-generated imaging plan.

  • Publication number: 20230003663
    Abstract: A processor of the inspection support device acquires an image obtained by imaging a structure to be inspected and detects damage to the structure on the basis of the acquired image. In a case where two or more types of damage (cracking B and linear free lime C2) to the structure are detected, the processor determines whether or not two or more types of damage are detected from the same or adjacent positions. In a case where determination is made that the cracking B and the linear free lime C2 are detected from the same or adjacent positions when the processor outputs the damage detection result (a damage image, a damage diagram, and the like), the processor preferentially outputs a damage detection result of the linear free lime C2 in accordance with a priority of a damage type (FIG. 16A and FIG. 16B).
