Over the past fifteen years, subsea photogrammetry 3D inspections have been successfully implemented offshore for engineering and integrity management applications. The development of intelligent cameras that enhance visibility in real-time has significantly contributed to the success of this plug-and-play technology.
While the accuracy of these surveys has reached an impressive level, data processing still faces limitations due to environmental imperfections. These imperfections slow down image processing automation and sometimes prevent certain areas from being measured.
Recent developments in AI are effectively addressing these limitations and are already yielding remarkable results. We will explain the technology and compare case studies with and without the use of AI to demonstrate how promising the future of AI-Photogrammetry Subsea 3D Surveys is!
