SewerAI has developed a tool, using artificial intelligence, to automatically label defects and features in sewer pipe inspection videos, which enhances the accuracy and accelerates the production of condition reports on wastewater and stormwater assets while also reducing overall inspection costs. This presentation will focus on recent examples of how public agencies, engineering consultants and inspection services contractors are using AI and machine learning to assist with the condition assessment of large amounts of pipeline video.
