I've looked at countless sewer inspection videos--those pipes can be up to 80 years old and are often in pretty bad shape. Sewage leaking into the groundwater is a major problem but is very hard to detect and locate unfortunately.
Shameless plug: We're a startup building AI to detect leakages in sewers and tell cities when to fix their underground pipes. If you want to help us solve this problem and make cities more sustainable, let me know at ew@hades.ai :)
On the surface, this looks like just another "We're using AI to detect X" cash grab. Are you just using image recognition for a novel application or what?
That's kind of a harsh way to express curiously, but I was also interested. If you go to https://www.hades.ai/, you can see that they use image recognition on videos. I can imagine why that might be an improvement over manually watching hours of sewer videos looking for cracks.
