Abstract:
One aspect provides a modular inspection robot for inspecting vertical shafts, chambers or tunnels. An embodiment provides related methods and products. One method includes: capturing, using a plurality of video cameras associated with an infrastructure inspection unit, two or more videos of infrastructure; accessing, using one or more processors, image metadata indicating a mesh of connected vertices based on the two or more videos; selecting, using the one or more processors, image data of frames of the two or more videos for inclusion in an output based on the mesh; and outputting, using the one or more processors, a photo-realistic image of the infrastructure comprising the image data selected. Other examples are described and claimed.
