Here you will find information about our project dedicated to the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) and drones for advanced inspection, surveillance and defect detection. Our goal is to revolutionise the way infrastructures are inspected and maintained through the use of state-of-the-art technologies. This project focuses on crack and defect detection, object identification, development of autopilot systems and implementation of surveillance tasks.
Applied Artificial Intelligence
Artificial intelligence is at the core of our project, enabling the automation and optimisation of inspection, surveillance and detection processes. Using advanced deep learning algorithms, our drones can identify and analyse structural defects, as well as perform surveillance tasks with high accuracy.
Benefits of AI in drones:
- Automatic image and video analysis
- Accurate detection of cracks and defects
- Advanced surveillance and monitoring capabilities
- Reduced inspection time and costs
Crack and Defect Detection
Our system is designed to perform detailed inspections and detect cracks and defects in a variety of structures, such as bridges, buildings and towers. Using high-resolution cameras and specialised sensors, drones can identify problems that are difficult to detect with the naked eye.
Crack and defect detection characteristics:
- High accuracy in the identification of structural faults
- Detailed reporting and 3D visualisations
- Ability to operate in difficult and hazardous environments
Next Generation Technologies
The project incorporates the most advanced hardware and software technologies, ensuring that our drones are equipped with the best tools for their missions. This includes high-definition cameras, thermal and lidar sensors, and real-time processing systems.
Highlights of state-of-the-art technologies:
- High-precision sensors
- Real-time data processing
- Integration with data analysis platforms
Object Detection
Surveillance tasks are an essential component of our project, using drones equipped with advanced cameras and sensors to monitor critical areas in real time. These systems are ideal for applications in security, border control and large event management.
Benefits of surveillance:
- Continuous and real-time monitoring
- Ability to patrol large and difficult-to-access areas
- Detection and tracking of intruders and suspicious activities
- Reduced costs compared to traditional surveillance methods
Autopilot
The development of autopilot systems is one of the key areas of our project. These systems allow drones to perform complex missions autonomously, following predefined routes and adapting to changes in the environment in real time.
Characteristics of the autopilot:
- Programmable flight paths
- Automatic obstacle avoidance capability
- Real-time adaptation to changing conditions
Surveillance Tasks
Surveillance tasks are an essential component of our project, using drones equipped with advanced cameras and sensors to monitor critical areas in real time. These systems are ideal for applications in security, border control and large event management.
Benefits of surveillance:
- Continuous and real-time monitoring
- Ability to patrol large and difficult-to-access areas
- Detection and tracking of intruders and suspicious activities
- Reduced costs compared to traditional surveillance methods
