A method for superimposing graphic representations of ground locations onto images
of ground locations after detecting the presence of material failure(s) or failures
in man-made structures in such ground locations including providing an image sensor
spaced remotely from the ground and which sequentially captures a number of images
of various ground locations to provide digital images of such ground locations;
processing captured digital images to determine the presence of a potential material
failure in a man-made structure in accordance with predetermined coordinate positions
which locate the man-made structures in one or more of the captured digital images;
identifying reference points in the ground locations corresponding to the same
reference points in the graphic representations of the ground location; and superimposing
the graphic representation with the reference points onto at least one of the captured
digital images.
