1. A method comprising:
- capturing image data of a physical entity using an electronic device;
determining at least one first visual object in the image data;
determining at least one second visual object among said at least one first visual object;
determining at least one first position for the at least one second visual object within said physical entity;
determining at least one second position based on said at least one first position;
obtaining at least one third visual object based on said at least one second position from an object data storage;
matching the at least one third visual object with the at least one first visual object; and
indicating differences between said at least one third visual object and said at least one first visual object to a user.

Abstract
The invention relates to a method, which comprises the capturing of image data representing a physical object using an electronic device. First visual objects are determined in the image data. Second objects are determined among the first visual objects. Position information is determined for the second visual objects within the physical object. Third visual object are obtained based on the position information from object data storage. The third visual objects are matched to the first visual objects and differences between third visual objects and the first visual object are indicated to a user.
