Abstract:
This disclosure generally relates to method and system for asset inspection using unmanned aerial vehicles. Regular inspection of assets in any environment is time consuming and involves physical risk and injury to the property. The method includes receiving a plurality of input images of an asset using unmanned aerial vehicle and generates a 3D point cloud based on overlapped images identified from the plurality of input images of the asset being inspected. Further, anomalies are detected and defects are observed in the one or more objects of interests based on the change observed in each 2D image frame from the plurality 2D image frames in a specific view with an identical objects of interest of the 2D image frame. A pyramidal view map is created for the plurality 2D image frames by mapping each pixel of the plurality 2D image frames with the plurality of input images.
