Wind turbine inspection

This is a method for inspecting wind turbines using a flying drone equipped with a camera. An operator remotely controls the drone's flight and the camera's operation, capturing images of the turbine for visual inspection. The claims specifically detail using one or two handheld controllers for these tasks.

Why it matters: Filed before robust, affordable drones and advanced camera systems were widely available. Today, off-the-shelf drone technology and integrated high-resolution cameras make this method highly practical and efficient.
