Method and system for the remote inspection of a structure

Abstract

The invention relates to a method for the remote inspection of a structure, comprising the following operations: producing a 3D image of an area of the structure to be inspected, superimposing said 3D image with a previously stored digital model of the structure, geographically locating the area of the structure to be inspected on the structure model, and inspecting the area of the structure to be inspected on the 3D image superimposed with the digital model. The invention also relates to a system for implementing the method, comprising an imaging device (10) that can be installed in the vicinity of the area of the structure to be inspected (2), and an image-processing device (6) located remotely from the imaging device (10) in order to generate a 3D image from the images captured by the camera (11).
