AI-BASED DETECTION OF SEA SUFACE AND SKY AND DETECTION OF RUST AND EXPOSED STEEL BARS WITH THE AIM OF MORE EFFICIENT INSPECTION AND DIAGNOSIS OF PORT AND HARBOR FACILITIES

Abstract

In order to improve the efficiency of infrastructure maintenance and management for port managers, the National Institute of Land and Infrastructure Management,to which auther belongs, is developing an inspection and diagnosis system for port and harbor facilities using UAVs and AI. The system uses UAVs and AI to convert port facilities into 3D data, and the target of the system is the automatic detection of facility deformations. This paper describes the AI-based detection of sea surface and sky and the AI-based detection of rust and exposed steel bars in the system.
