Abstract

A system including primary camera(s) arranged on vehicle that is employed for surveying real-world environment; secondary camera(s) coupled to steering unit(s) that is arranged on vehicle; geolocation sensor that, in operation, detects geographical location and orientation of vehicle; and processor(s) configured to receive primary image(s) captured by primary camera(s); process primary image(s) to detect asset(s) (P1, P2, P3, P4, X, Y) and location and orientation of asset(s); control steering unit(s) to adjust pose of secondary camera(s) based on location and orientation of asset(s) and geographical location and orientation of vehicle, for enabling secondary camera(s) to capture secondary image(s) of asset(s); receive secondary image(s) captured by secondary camera(s); process secondary image(s) to detect anomalous phenomena in asset(s); and locate anomalous phenomena based at least on location and orientation of asset(s).

Dependent claims

A system comprising:

at least one primary camera arranged on a vehicle that is employed for surveying a real-world environment;
at least one secondary camera coupled to at least one steering unit that is arranged on the vehicle;
a geolocation sensor that, in operation, detects a geographical location and an orientation of the vehicle;
and
at least one processor configured to:
receive at least one primary image captured by the at least one primary camera;
process the at least one primary image to at least detect at least one asset (P1, P2, P3, P4, X, Y) present in the real-world environment and a location and an orientation of the at least one asset;
control the at least one steering unit to adjust a pose of the at least one secondary camera based on the location and the orientation of the at least one asset (P1, P2, P3, P4, X, Y) and the geographical location of the vehicle, for enabling the at least one secondary camera to capture at least one secondary image of the at least one asset;
receive the at least one secondary image captured by the at least one secondary camera;
process the at least one secondary image to at least detect at least one anomalous phenomenon in the at least one asset;
and
locate the at least one anomalous phenomenon in a representation of the real-world environment based at least on the location and the orientation of the at least one asset.

A method comprising:

receiving at least one primary image captured by at least one primary camera arranged on a vehicle that is employed for surveying a real-world environment;
processing the at least one primary image to at least detect at least one asset (P1, P2, P3, P4, X, Y) present in the real-world environment and a location and an orientation of the at least one asset;
controlling at least one steering unit arranged on the vehicle to adjust a pose of at least one secondary camera that is coupled to the at least one steering unit, based on the location and the orientation of the at least one asset (P1, P2, P3, P4, X, Y) and a geographical location and an orientation of the vehicle, for enabling the at least one secondary camera to capture at least one secondary image of the at least one asset;
receiving the at least one secondary image captured by the at least one secondary camera;
processing the at least one secondary image to at least detect at least one anomalous phenomenon in the at least one asset;
and
locating the at least one anomalous phenomenon in a representation of the real-world environment based at least on the location and the orientation of the at least one asset.
