Claim 10:
11. A method for detecting the presence of a defect upon a surface of a moving object, comprising:
providing an inspection system including:
a plurality of lights, each light having a fixed position;
a plurality of cameras, each camera having a fixed position; and
a processing assembly configured to detect a location of the moving object, selectively activate the plurality of lights and the plurality of cameras, capture a plurality of images of a plurality of surface portions of the moving object using the plurality of cameras, and utilize the captured images to detect a presence of a defect upon the plurality of surface portions of the moving object, wherein the captured images include images from different cameras, and the images from different cameras include images from camera-light pairs from the plurality of lights and the plurality of cameras, the camera-light pairs placed to overlap an inspection swath of the surface of the moving object wherein the overlapping inspection swaths are calculated by a simulator, and share computing resources from the processing assembly in producing the captured images;
acquiring the plurality of images of the plurality of surface portions of the moving object; and
utilizing the captured images to detect the presence of the defect upon the plurality of surface portions of the moving object.
