Abstract
Technology for matching images (for example, video images, still images) of an identical infrastructure object (for example, a tower component of a tower supporting power lines) for purposes of comparing the infrastructure object to itself at different points in time to detect a potential anomaly and the potential need for maintenance of the infrastructure object. In some embodiments, this matching of images is done using creation of a three dimensional (#D) computer model of the infrastructure object and by tagging captured images with location on the 3D model across multiple videos taken at different points in time.
