Claim:
1. A damage detection and repair system to detecting damage of an object and preparing for repairing the damage, comprising: an image-capturing device having at least one camera lens, a first positional sensor, and an orientation sensor; at least three second positional sensors provided for the object to detect a corresponding three-dimensional (3D) position of the object relative to the image-capturing device; and a processor configured to: determine a positional information of the damage of the object based on signals received from the first positional sensor, the orientation sensor, and the second positional sensors; and generate a 3D digital mockup (DMU) model for illustrating the damage of the object and associated parts needed for repairing the damage, wherein the object is an aircraft, and the at least three second positional sensors include a nose sensor disposed on a nose of the aircraft and two wing sensors, each wing sensor disposed on a wing tip of the aircraft.
