This lecture overviews the use of drones for infrastructure inspection and maintenance. Various types of inspection, e.g., using visual cameras, LIDAR or thermal cameras are reviewed. Drone vision plays a pivotal role in drone perception/control for infrastructure inspection and maintenance, because: a) it enhances flight safety by drone localization/mapping, obstacle detection and emergency landing detection,… Continue reading Drone imaging for industrial infrastructure inspection

Using Artificial Intelligence and Aerial Robots for defect detection and segmentation in Industrial Inspection of Viaduct
In this lecture, Begoña Arrue, of the GRVC Robotics lab Team, will present the use Artificial intelligence algorithms and tools for inspection analytics that can facilitate the analysis of the data gathered by the aerial robotic systems developed for Industrial Inspection of Viaduct in PILOTING project. Lecture by Prof. Begoña Arrue. Link to video
Aerial Robotics for Industrial Inspection and the SIMAR project contribution
In this lecture, Miguel Ángel Trujillo, the EU SIMAR project coordinator, will present a few of the last European projects on aerial robotic inspection. Also, the talk will focus on how technology has evolved since the first one and the current state of the art. Furthermore, the SIMAR project will be presented, showing the consortium… Continue reading Aerial Robotics for Industrial Inspection and the SIMAR project contribution
Simulation of forest fires and floods
By using Unreal Engine for the creation of virtual environments we are able to simulate fire and flood scenarios with high accuracy and by using virtual UAVs we collect big virtual datasets. Mixing the virtual data with real-world data and training state-of-the-art machine learning models we hope to be able to detect real-world fires and… Continue reading Simulation of forest fires and floods
Flash flood modeling and in urban areas using High Resolution hydrodynamic model and machine learning models
Modeling flash floods in urban areas with complex topography is always challenging. Considering fine-scale hydrodynamic 2D shallow water model to perform simulations requires a lot of manual or semi-automatic data processing before being able to run simulations. This involves the transformation of high-resolution Digital Surface Model (Lidar) into a Digital Elevation Model that conserves the… Continue reading Flash flood modeling and in urban areas using High Resolution hydrodynamic model and machine learning models
Multimodal Analysis of Geo-social Media Data for Improved Disaster Management: From Science to Digital Practice
The challenges that emergency services face when dealing with disasters are becoming increasingly complex. Thus, methods of analysing new digital information for situation assessment and operational planning is of crucial importance. This talk presents an approach for multi-modal analysis of digital data such as geo-social media posts using artificial intelligence (AI), helping to ensure the… Continue reading Multimodal Analysis of Geo-social Media Data for Improved Disaster Management: From Science to Digital Practice
