Fig. 6. An example of the node, where a cracklike defect was detected by the results of non-destructive testing involving climbers.

For comparison, Fig. 7 gives the results of examination of this node, obtained using UAV. From these figures it is possible to identify a potential area with a crack.

Fig. 7. Surveying a node from UAV: а – inside view, b – outside view.

As can be clearly seen from Figures 5, 6, and 7, during the detection of different types of damage using UAV, very important is the camera resolution, which allows further on improving development of approaches to automated defect detection.
