An inspection apparatus comprises a chassis position/attitude estimator to estimate position/attitude information of a moving body and generate a chassis position/attitude estimation signal, a hammering tester hammer part error signal generator to generate a hammering tester hammer part error signal, a hammering tester hammer part position/attitude signal generator to generate a hammering tester hammer part position/attitude signal, a first sensor data frequency characteristic interpolator to generate a first sensor data frequency characteristic interpolation signal from the received chassis position/attitude estimation signal, a second sensor data frequency characteristic interpolator to generate a second sensor data frequency characteristic interpolation signal from the received hammering tester hammer part error signal and the received hammering tester hammer part position/attitude signal, and a hammering tester hammer part position/attitude estimator to generate a hammering tester hammer part position/attitude estimation signal from the received first sensor data frequency characteristic interpolation signal and the received second sensor data frequency characteristic interpolation signal.

Inspection apparatus, method and program of controlling inspection apparatus

An inspection operator can perform a hammering inspection without operation to move an inspection device to a location to be inspected, and the hammering inspection can also be performed to the location to be inspected where a vehicle has difficulty in entering. An inspection system includes a flying device including a hammering inspection unit that performs an inspection and a flying unit that flies with the hammering inspection unit, a ground-side device that is fixedly installed at a position relative to a location to be inspected and detects a position of the flying device, and a flight instruction unit that controls the flying device in such a way that a forwarding direction of the flying device is a direction from the ground-side device to the location to be inspected based on the position of the flying device.
