Abstract
An aircraft that includes a helicopter drone on which a 3D scanner is mounted via an actively rotatable joint is provided. The 3D scanner has at least one high-resolution camera for recording a multiplicity of overlapping images of the object from different recording positions and recording directions, so that comparison of the images allows a position and orientation of the 3D scanner relative to the object to be ascertained. In addition, the aircraft has a coordination device for coordinated control of the 3D scanner, the joint and the helicopter drone. The system for damage analysis has an aircraft and an image processing module generating a data representation of a surface profile of the object on the basis of the recorded images. In addition, the system includes a rating device for checking the surface profile and for outputting a damage statement on the basis of the check.
