Claim 11:
12. A system, comprising:
a processor;
a sensor communicatively connected to the processor; and
a non-transitory memory communicatively coupled to the processor and storing executable instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause system to:
identify, using an existing first virtual model representing a physical object, a configuration of a surface of the object;
cause the sensor to capture first data points associated with the surface of the object, for which additional information is needed;
generate, based on the first data points, a second virtual model representing at least a portion of the object including the surface;
identify, based at least in part on the first data points and using the second virtual model, an area of the surface for which additional data is needed;
cause the sensor to capture second data points associated with the area of the surface;
update the second virtual model based on the second data points;
determine, based on the representations of the surface in the first virtual model and in the second virtual model, an abnormality associated with the second virtual model; and
determining, based on the abnormality, a damaged section of the object, the damaged section including the surface.
