1. An inspection apparatus comprising:
- a communication unit comprising;
a first transmitter; and
a second transmitter; and
an on-board computing device coupled to said communication unit, said on-board computing device comprising at least one processor and a memory device coupled to said at least one processor, said at least one processor configured to;
obtain a current position of said inspection apparatus;
capture unprocessed image data;
capture fluid concentration data for at least one fluid;
geotag the fluid concentration data and the unprocessed image data with the position of said inspection apparatus;
transmit the geotagged unprocessed image data to a remote processing device using said first transmitter, wherein the remote processing device is located remotely from said inspection apparatus; and
transmit the geotagged fluid concentration data to the remote processing device using said second transmitter.

Abstract
An inspection apparatus includes a communication unit including a first transmitter and a second transmitter. The communication unit is coupled to an on-board computing device including at least one processor coupled to a memory device. The processor is configured to obtain a position of the inspection apparatus, unprocessed image data, and fluid concentration data for at least one fluid. The processor geotags the data with the position of the inspection apparatus and transmits the data to a remote processing device. The geotagged image data is transferred using the first transmitter and the geotagged fluid concentration data is transmitted using the second transmitter.
