<p>The present invention relates to a system and method for the automated mapping of corridors, in particular to a system and method for measuring encroachment of vegetation onto right of way and infrastructure components extending within corridors.Infrastructure components such as power lines, telecommunication lines, oil and gas pipe lines, extend for very long distances in corridors. The encroachment of vegetation on the infrastructure components is a problem.The present invention provides a corridor mapping system which utilises stereo image processing means arranged to process a plurality of stereo image pairs taken of the corridor to provide information on the three dimensional arrangement of components within the corridor. The system identifies infrastructure components and determines the status of the infrastructure components from the images.</p> |
