  • System and method for inspecting the condition of structures using remotely controlled devices
    Patent number: 11170489
    Abstract: Disclosed is a system for inspecting a structure without physically contacting the structure. The system includes a remotely controlled device that includes a sonar/ultrasound transceiver, a camera and a mapping module for generating geotags corresponding to the structure. The remotely controlled device optionally includes an infrared camera and a lidar. As the remotely controlled device moves along or around the perimeter of the structure, the system collects acoustic, lidar, infrared and photogrammetry data to create a virtual model of the structure. Geotagged acoustic, infrared and lidar data identifying faults in the structure is overlaid on the virtual model of the structure.
