Abstract

Disclosed is a system including a user device, a frame, a drone, and a server. The user device enables a user to aviate the drone that is adapted to be detachably coupled to the frame. The frame is further adapted to be detachably coupled to the one or more powerlines, and includes an X-ray unit configured to capture X-ray images of the one or more powerlines. The X-ray unit transmits the X-ray images to the user device and the user device further transmits the X-ray images to the server in a digital imaging and communication in non-destructive evaluation (DICONDE) format. The server detects one or more abnormalities in the one or more powerlines by processing the X-ray images using a picture archiving & communication system (PACS) and an ADR technique, and generates data and/or reports to be viewed by the user by way of the user device.
