Description

Infrastructure Defect Detection uses AI to identify defects and anomalies in infrastructure assets, enabling earlier maintenance intervention and reduced inspection hazard, by analyzing high-resolution imagery and sensor data captured by unmanned aerial vehicles, across critical infrastructure inspection operations.

Business Problem

Manual inspection of infrastructure assets is time-consuming, costly, and exposes inspectors to hazardous environments; infrequent inspection cycles allow defects to progress undetected.

Solution

The AI processes high-resolution images and sensor data from drone flights, detecting defects and flagging anomalies in infrastructure assets for maintenance review.

Expected Value

Reduces inspection time and cost, improves defect detection accuracy, and lowers safety risk to inspectors; measured as inspection cycle time, defect detection rate, and inspector exposure incidents.

Prerequisites
  • Drone fleet capable of capturing high-resolution imagery and sensor data over the target infrastructure is available
  • Labelled historical inspection imagery with confirmed defect annotations is available for model training
  • A maintenance workflow exists to act on flagged defect reports
