It's not a video camera that inspects the aircraft but a series of infrared and ultrasound sensors (I believe) which scan the whole aircraft and creates a full 3D image.

So if anything this will be a lot more effective at picking up dents/cracks/damaged rivets than the human eye. Certainly faster, a brilliant idea.
