Camera alignment using semi-transparent reference image for asset inspection systems and methods

Abstract

Systems and methods directed to asset inspection are provided. In one example, a method includes capturing, by a camera, a live image of an asset under inspection. The method further includes preparing a blended image using the live image and a semi-transparent reference image of the asset, wherein the blended image comprises a first representation of the asset from the live image and a second representation of the asset from the semi-transparent reference image. The method further includes receiving, at the camera, a manipulation to align the camera relative to the asset in response to a review of an alignment of the first and second representations of the asset relative to each other in the blended image. Additional methods and systems are also provided.

Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
