Using artificial intelligence in sewer inspection

With its own development department specifically for AI topics, IBAK is working on and developing several AI projects. One focus is automated condition detection in inspection films (ArtIST). Another equally exciting project is the AI-based autopilot for inspection equipment with pan and rotate cameras (aiControl). IBAK is also researching how AI methodology in sewer data can be used for rehabilitation planning and prediction models.

Inspections are used to record the structural and operational conditions of sewer systems. Condition detection thus forms the optimal basis for the development of maintenance and rehabilitation measures. The quality of the collected data is crucial for this.

The use of artificial intelligence (AI) has already proven its worth in sewer inspection and provides objective and consistent data.

AI is only as good as your data

High data quality is the prerequisite for optimal processing and analysis by AI. PANORAMO 4K systems offer the best basis for this by recording the entire interior view of the pipe in 4K resolution.
