Abstract
Systems and methods for detecting gaps in netting include constructing a depth map from electromagnetic signals associated with netting surrounding an area, the depth map including measurements of distance of each strand of the netting along an axis perpendicular to a plane formed by the netting relative to the detector. Each segment of netting is identified including each strand of the netting in a side of the netting facing the detector. Locations of gaps in the netting are identified according to the depth map. A user is alerted to the presence and locations of gaps by sending a communication to a computing device.
