About this paper

Amir Farzin Nikkhah, Dong Chen, Bradford Campbell, Somayeh Asadi, Arsalan Heydarian

The authors propose a UAV inspection workflow that plans routes around buildings and obstacles, checks image coverage and quality, and includes route refinement. It combines RGB imagery and LiDAR geometry with a multimodal transformer for localized defect maps. The authors reviewed 150 studies and report an initial campus campaign using RGB and LiDAR, but do not validate the workflow.
