Blade inspection from drone photos
Erosion
- CHALLENGE
Inspecting offshore turbine blades means sending crews out to sea. An earlier AI system was only 70 to 80% accurate on drone photos, so many trips were spent confirming damage.
- WHAT WE BUILT
A workflow in steps, each with its own model: flag possible damage, outline it, check its depth and grade its severity with a confidence score. Low-confidence photos go to a blade engineer, who decides whether a crew goes out.
