A facility inspection system prevents a normal part from being detected as an abnormal part caused by a deviation in an alignment due to a presence/absence of a moving object in detecting the abnormal part in a surrounding environment of a vehicle moving on a track. The system includes a photographing device, storage device, separation unit, an alignment unit, and a extraction unit. The photographing device photographs the surrounding environment of the moving vehicle. The storage device stores a reference alignment point cloud and a reference difference-extraction point cloud for each position on the track. The separation unit separates the alignment point cloud from a three-dimensional point cloud. The alignment unit aligns the reference alignment point cloud and the alignment point cloud and outputs alignment information. The extraction unit extracts a difference between the three-dimensional point cloud deformed based on the alignment information and the reference difference-extraction point cloud.
