Abstract
The subject matter discloses a method of asset change detection using images, the method comprising steps executed by processing circuitry, the steps comprising: receiving at least one image of an asset captured by an image capturing device; receiving at least one attribute of a task of detecting a change in the asset using the received at least one image, at least one of the at least one attribute being one of the group consisting of: an attribute measured by a sensor, an attribute extracted from a website, an attribute retrieved from a database, an attribute input by a user, and an attribute encoded in computer code; selecting a reference image among a plurality of reference images of the asset according to at least one criterion based on the received at least one attribute of the task of detecting the change in the asset; computing an asset-difference pixel map, using the selected reference image and the image captured by the image capturing device; and detecting the change in the asset, using the computed asset-difference map.
