Claim One:
1. A method for inspecting assembly of components in an aircraft structure, comprising: acquiring a visual representation of at least a portion of the structure that includes a plurality of components therein; saving an electronic file of the visual representation on a computer readable medium; accessing a three-dimensional design of the structure, the three dimensional design containing information on a proper position of each of the plurality of components within the structure; comparing the visual representation with the three-dimensional design using a computer by graphically superimposing an image related to the visual representation with a second image related to the three-dimensional design to determine whether each of the plurality of components encompassed by the visual representation is in a proper position in the structure, as determined by a position of each corresponding component encompassed in the three-dimensional design; and generating a feedback indicating a result of the comparison.
