System and method for identifying structural asset features and damage

Abstract

The proposed systems and methods describe an autonomous asset detection system that leverages artificial intelligence (AI) models for three-dimensional asset identification and damage detection, asset damage classification, automatic in-field asset tag readings, and real-time asset management. In some embodiments, a deep learning-based system receives a set of aerial images of one or more assets and automatically identifies each asset in the image(s) using rotational coordinates. In some embodiments, an image annotation tool labels the images either manually or automatically. The system then detects whether the asset is damaged and, if so, determine the type of damage, and further captures and stores asset tag information for the target asset. The collected and processed data is then provided to end-users via a comprehensive user interface platform for managing the assets in real-time. The platform can also be configured to generate insights on damage and repair, facilitating an expedited and thoughtful response to asset maintenance.
