1. An inspection support system that acquires an inspection image by using a self-traveling apparatus which is designed to be self-travelable in response to a received travel command, and has mounted thereon a photographing unit for photographing an inspection image used for inspection of a structure, and stores the acquired inspection image into a database, comprising:
an image processing unit that extracts, from the inspection image to be stored into the database, one or a plurality of photographing targets captured in the inspection image, and is configured to discriminate whether the extracted photographing target is a deteriorated part occurred in the structure;
an identification information processing unit that correlates position information of every photographing target in the structure, as the identification information, which identifies each of the extracted photographing targets in an identifiable manner, with each photographing targets,
a retrieval unit that retrieves a first inspection image, from among the inspection images stored in the database; and
a command generation unit that generates a first travel command that makes the self-traveling apparatus run to a target position where the photographing target, captured in the first inspection image retrieved by the retrieval unit, can be shot;
the self-traveling apparatus autonomously traveling in response to the received first travel command to the target position, and shooting the photographing targets captured in the first inspection image, to acquire a second inspection image,
the image processing unit extracting, from among the photographing targets captured in the second inspection image, a matched target that matches the photographing targets captured in the first inspection image, and
the identification information processing unit correlating the identification information of the photographing targets that are captured in the first inspection image and are matched to the matched target, with the matched target,
if the photographing target extracted from the second inspection image is found to contain a second deteriorated part, the image processing unit implements an estimation process, by comparing a first deteriorated part contained in the photographing target extracted from the first inspection image with the second deteriorated part, on the basis of the individual shapes, colors, and positions, to estimate whether the second deteriorated part is a result of progress of the first deteriorated part or not,
if the estimation process is affirmed, the image processing unit extracts the second deteriorated part as the matched target that matches the first deteriorated part, and the identification information processing unit adds, as the identification information for the extracted second deteriorated part, position information having been added as the identification information for the first deteriorated part, and
if the estimation process is denied, the image processing unit extracts the second deteriorated part as an unmatched target that does not match the first deteriorated part, and the identification information processing unit adds, as the identification information for the extracted second deteriorated part, position information that is determined on the basis of the position information having been given as the identification information for other photographing target not having been determined to be a deteriorated part.
