Inspection information management technology for infrastructure maintenance
Reduce labor in inspection tasks by recognizing and automatically managing inspection information from a single image.
- Recognizes the capture location and size of the object with a degradation (e.g., crack) from an inspection image taken with a regular camera.
- Inspection information recognized from the image is centrally managed in a database and linked to positional information on a drawing.
Applications
- Plant facilities; e.g., power plants and oil refineries
- Large-scale factories and warehouses
Benchmarks, strengths, and track record
- To estimate positions in indoor facilities, competitors need additional equipment such as wireless base stations and markers, but Toshiba’s method can estimate the capture position in 3D from a single image.
- To measure the size of an image object, competitors need additional equipment such as laser scanners or depth sensors, but Toshiba’s method can estimate the object size from a single image.
