Information On Inspection And Damage Detection

EPFL startup SwissInspect has developed a novel bridge-inspection system that combines structural engineering with drone technology, artificial intelligence and computer vision.

The current practice for inspecting an asset, such as a bridge, is visual inspection, which means that practitioners visit the asset visually and mark up the damaged areas on the design drawings.
