Claim One:
1. A system for use in inspecting an object, said system comprising: at least one array of visual imaging devices configured to capture a plurality of two-dimensional images of the object, wherein the object is configured to translate relative to said at least one array, said at least one array configured to capture a first set of two-dimensional images over a first predetermined interval and a second set of two-dimensional images over a second predetermined interval that is after the first predetermined interval; and a computing device coupled to said at least one array of visual imaging devices, said computing device comprising a processor and a memory having computer-executable instructions stored thereon, wherein, when executed by said processor, the computer-executable instructions cause said processor to: determine moving portions and non-moving portions in the plurality of two-dimensional images; extract point clouds of the object from the first and second sets of two-dimensional images, wherein the point clouds include the moving portions in the plurality of two-dimensional images; generate a three-dimensional model of the object from the extracted point clouds; determine variations in the extracted point clouds from the first and second sets of two-dimensional images; and utilize the determined variations to detect potential anomalies in the three-dimensional model.
