US Patent 11176700 Systems and methods for a real-time intelligent inspection assistant

Example implementations described herein are directed to a solution to the problem of accurate real-time inventory counting and industrial inspection. The solution, involves a device such as a mobile device that assists a human operator on the field to quickly achieve high quality inspection results. The example implementations detect objects of interest in individual image snapshots and use location and orientation sensors to integrate the snapshots to reconstruct a more accurate virtual representation of the inspection area. This representation can then be reorganized in various ways to derive inventory counts and other information that are not planned originally.
