20100211358, Aug 19, 2010

Filed:

Feb 17, 2009

Appl. No.:

12/372616

Inventors:

Paul Allen Kesler - Arlington VA, US
Robert Daniel Kalinowski - Saint Charles MO, US
John Lyle Vian - Renton WA, US

International Classification:

G21C 17/00

US Classification:

702184

Abstract:

The advantageous embodiments provide a method for identifying anomalies on an object. The advantageous embodiments detect a presence of the object in a control area using a sensor system. In response to detecting the presence of the object in the control area, the object is identified using the sensor system. Scan priorities are identified for the object using the sensor system. The object is scanned while the object is within the control area to form scan results. The scan results are analyzed and a determination is made as to whether a number of maintenance anomalies are detected on the object using the scan results.

International Classification:

G06F 15/00

Abstract:

The advantageous embodiments provide an apparatus for identifying anomalies on an object comprising a sensor system and an analysis process. The sensor system is configured to detect a presence of the object, identify a speed of travel for the object, and determine a scan rate for the object using the speed of travel to generate scan results. The analysis process is configured to analyze the scan results and determine whether a number of maintenance anomalies are detected on the object using the scan results.
