When was the last time you encountered a power outage? You would be a bit concerned if you knew how much of today’s critical infrastructure relies on the uninterrupted supply of electricity. How can drones help? This talk explains how we used drone images to automatically detect one of the most common causes of power outages - when trees come dangerously close to the wires.
The presentation will cover the complete workflow:
Capturing images using automated drone missions.
Building a 3D model of the terrain.
Using computer vision and neural networks for detecting wires in the images.
Building a 3D representation of the wires with epipolar geometry.
Visualizing the vegetation encroachment.
