Deep Learning-based Defect Detection in Telecom Towers

#artificialintelligence

Telecom towers are considered critical infrastructure for ensuring nation-wide communications. Telecom Service Providers rely on these towers for hosting their antennas, power modules and other communication components. To ensure uninterrupted communication services, regular maintenance and upkeep of these towers is required. To gather information about tower health, a person is required to be sent up the tower to manually check for numerous types of defects. Common defects related to telecom towers include missing nuts, bolts, plates, joints, broken or warped beams, corroded parts, antenna damage or misalignment etc.
