Description (French)
qVision est une application d’apprentissage automatique basée sur la vision par ordinateur, développée par l’entreprise, qui peut détecter la corrosion en utilisant l’image d’un actif, et fournir des informations quantifiables pour améliorer les pratiques de maintenance prédictive. Actuellement, l’entreprise a constaté un intérêt de la part des compagnies maritimes. Dans le cadre de ce projet, nous développerons une application qVision sur mesure pour répondre aux exigences particulières de ces compagnies en matière d’inspection de la corrosion.
