Assignee: THE BOEING COMPANY
Field: Measurement (Instruments)
Classification: CPC G  B | IPC B  G

Claim 10:
11. A method of performing an inspection of a structure with an inspection apparatus, the method comprising:
generating Non-Destructive Inspection (NDI) scan data while moving an NDI scanner along a surface of the structure;
receiving location information measured for the NDI scanner while moving along the surface of the structure;
correlating the location information measured for the NDI scanner with the NDI scan data;
storing pre-defined position data regarding a subsurface feature of the structure;
analyzing the NDI scan data to detect the subsurface feature within the structure;
accessing the pre-defined position data for the subsurface feature; and
correcting the location information correlated with the NDI scan data based on the pre-defined position data for the subsurface feature.
