Digital Inspection

3D Texturing is basically wrapping a 2D image around a 3D object. Particularly, this information is obtained through the photos which are sought to obtain with a very high resolution due its importance for the digital inspection.

However, not all the areas in the 3D model have the same relevance in terms of information, whereby such areas as  surrounding vegetation or the road surface may have low quality resolution.

To improve the performance of the model viewer and shorten loading times, the resolution of the digital twin varies according to the zoom level. This method is used in image processing applications and is known as quadtree.

In fact, if it’s possible to look through a part of the digital twin at a certain angle, it means, that in reality the view would be blocked by the adjacent environment. For example, in reality it would not be possible to look at the underside of a road surface.

At the moment our artificial intelligence neural network detects five types of concrete damage:

  • crack

  • spalling

  • corrosion

  • reinforcement 

  • efflorescene

Nevertheless, we are working on adding more damage types on different materials.

The output of the AI is a suggestion that supports efficient damage detection. With the help of various KPIs, the quality of the results / suggestions can be measured and evaluated. Semi-automatic feedback systems enable the network to be adapted in real-time, thereby ensuring constant quality assurance. The current results can be viewed in the documentation for the individual network updates.

The results/suggestions obtained from the AI can be edited on the hub. In other words, damages can be added, rejected or corrected at any time during the inspection process. If there are any doubts regarding the results or any kind of suggestions, do not hesitate to contact us.

We are constantly working on adding new types of damages in order to expand the support options for your inspection. 

However, to ensure the quality of the results/suggestions, a large amount of manually created training data is required. Afterwards, the network must be trained with it and the results must be evaluated. Finally, a new damage type can only be integrated when almost all damages of the respective damage type are recognised by the AI.

It is a service provided based on specific needs for a project or an area of expertise that you want to improve in your organisation. As an advantage, your requirements and needs can be discussed in detail with one of our expert advisers and then you will receive a proposal for the delivery of the solution. Fill out the form or book a call and we will get in touch with you!

Digital Inspection is based on traditional infrastructural inspection, however it utilises digitization and digitalisation to organise, document and use the data for further use of asset management and lifecycle services. Its aim is to support and enable Asset Owners and Engineers in their daily work and facilitate decision making.

In order to add measures and/or ratings is necessary to change the inspection status from "NEW" to "IN PROGRESS".

You need to go to the left panel, click on "Inspections", afterwards click on your own inspection and finally click on "Start the inspection"

Currently, the report is exported only as a MS Word file, therefore you can still edit any fields or structure before finalizing the report.

Yes, it is possible. If you change the inspection name (e.g. due to a typo) then the changes will be updated.

At the moment, the platform supports a generic norm based on the RVS norm. If you want to work on a specific norm that has not been added yet, please contact us.

If you are interested to trigger the AI in your project you can contact our support team, we will be glad to support you.
