Remote scanning and detection apparatus and method

This invention describes a system for scanning surfaces like roads or bridges from a moving platform, such as a vehicle or drone. It uses a kit of various sensors, including visual and infrared cameras, ground-penetrating radar, and distance sensors, all mounted on a structural boom. The system is specifically designed to operate from a vehicle moving at highway speeds, allowing it to collect data without disrupting traffic.

Why it matters: Filed before significant advancements in AI for multi-sensor data fusion and automated image inspection. Compact, high-resolution sensors are also more readily available.
