Lift – A Material Counting Tool (Steel MVP)
FY 2022-23 · 2022-06-01
Summary
SketchDeck.ai is building a platform that can automate material counting from construction drawings. Currently these companies are using manual methods (click and drag software or scales and rulers) to quantify building material and components. Our objective is to develop a market ready product that can significantly reduce the time spent counting material from construction drawings using machine learning and computer vision tools and techniques, like NLP, Optical Character Recognition and Deep learning algorithms.

Description (French)
SketchDeck.ai construit une plateforme qui peut automatiser le comptage des matériaux à partir des dessins de construction. À l'heure actuelle, ces entreprises utilisent des méthodes manuelles (logiciels de type « cliquer-glisser » ou balances et règles) pour quantifier les matériaux et les composants de construction. Notre objectif est d’élaborer un produit prêt à être commercialisé qui puisse réduire de beaucoup le temps passé à compter les matériaux à partir des plans de construction en utilisant des outils et des techniques d'apprentissage automatique et de vision par ordinateur, tels que la PNL, la reconnaissance optique de caractères et les algorithmes d'apprentissage profond.
