Curb inspection tool

A method for measuring a monument, comprising:

• obtaining a set of two or more images of a monument environment;
• detecting a set of markers in the set of images, wherein the set of markers are positioned on a plane level with respect to gravity by a leveling device, and wherein the leveling device is configured to automatically level the set of markers;
• generating a virtual representation of the monument environment with respect to gravity;
• mapping the monument to a virtual representation;
• determining one or more slopes and dimensions of the monument based on the mapped monument and the gravity plane;
• and
• outputting the one or more slopes of the monument.

A leveling device comprising:

• a surface having two or more markers affixed to the surface, the surface configured to position the two or more markers on a plane;
• an inclinometer configured to measure an angle of the plane with respect to gravity;
• one or more actuators configured to adjust the angle of the plane;
• and
• a controller configured to instruct the one or more actuators to automatically adjust the angle of the plane based on the measured angle to level the plane.

A system for inspecting a monument, comprising:

• an imaging device configured to obtain a set of two or more images of a monument environment;
• a leveling device configured to position a set of markers on a plane level with respect to gravity, wherein the leveling device is configured to automatically level the markers;
• and
• one or more non-transitory program storage devices comprising instructions stored thereon to cause one or more processors to:
• detect the set of markers in the set of images;
• generate a virtual representation of the monument environment with respect to gravity;
• map the monument to a virtual representation;
• determine, one or more slopes and dimensions of the monument based on the mapped monument and the gravity plane;
• and
• output the one or more slopes of the monument.

The system of claim 18, wherein each marker of the set of markers, is positioned at a predetermined distance from another marker of the set of markers, and wherein the one or more non-transitory program storage devices comprise instructions stored thereon to cause one or more processors to:

• determine, based on the set of markers, a scale for the monument environment;
• detect, in the set of images, one or more features of the monument;
• generate a set of measurements based on the detected one or more features;
• and
• output the set of measurements.
