Development of a Supervised Machine Learning Model for 2D Image Analysis, to Detect Corrosion and Pit in Offshore Assets

FY 2021-22 · 2021-04-05

Summary
In this project, qualiTEAS aims to develop a digital solution, using a machine learning (ML) approach, capable of detecting corrosion and pit from 2D images. This software will be a SaaS product that will further enhance asset inspection activities for offshore operators. Since visual imaging plays a primary role in asset inspections; thus, this solution will enormously benefit operators by automating the process of corrosion and pit detection though image analysis, which will cut down on both cost and time significantly.

Description (French)
Dans ce projet, qualiTEAS vise à développer une solution numérique, utilisant une approche d'apprentissage machine (AM), capable de détecter la corrosion et les puits à partir d'images 2D. Ce logiciel sera un produit SaaS qui permettra d'améliorer les activités d'inspection des actifs pour les opérateurs en mer. L'imagerie visuelle jouant un rôle primordial dans les inspections d'actifs, cette solution profitera énormément aux opérateurs grâce à l'automatisation du procédé de détection de la corrosion et des puits par l'analyse d'images, ce qui réduira considérablement les coûts et les délais.
