Abstract

Detailed images of problem areas occurring in the surface of a structure, such as a multiple story building, are obtained by infrared and visual spectrum cameras positioned proximate to the problem area. A remote camera records a reference field of view that includes the local cameras and their operator, such that the area of interest may be positioned on the surface of the building. A helmet camera worn by the operator records the detailed images and transmits them to a base location.
