发明名称 METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR CAPTURING THE CONDITION OF A PHYSICAL STRUCTURE
摘要 In a computer-implemented method and system for capturing the condition of a structure, the structure is scanned with a three-dimensional (3D) scanner. The 3D scanner generates 3D data. A point cloud or 3D model is constructed from the 3D data. The point cloud or 3D model is then analyzed to determine the condition of the structure.

主权项 1. A computer-implemented method of inspecting a structure, the method comprising: deploying one or more three-dimensional (3D) scanners to scan a structure, wherein the one or more 3D scanners are communicatively connected to a memory; generating, at the one or more 3D scanners, a plurality of 3D data points, wherein each of the plurality of 3D data points corresponds to a point on the surface of the structure detected by the one or more 3D scanners during the scan of the structure; causing a processor to identify a plurality of coordinate sets associated with each of the plurality of 3D data points, the coordinate sets each relating to vertical, horizontal, and depth distance measurements; storing a point cloud at the memory, wherein the point cloud comprises one or more of the generated plurality of 3D data points; causing a processor to automatically analyze the point cloud to identify one or more features associated with the structure, wherein causing a processor to automatically analyze the point cloud to identify one or more features associated with the structure includes: causing a processor communicatively connected to the memory to construct a 3D model from the point cloud,storing the 3D model at the memory, andcausing a processor to analyze the 3D model to identify the one or more features; causing a processor to generate an estimation of the condition of the structure based on the identified one or more features; and storing the estimation at the memory.
