AMPLIF-AI

The territory of South Tyrol hosts numerous infrastructures that require continuous monitoring to ensure their operability, efficiency and safety for the community. These installations are of fundamental importance for the sectors of transport, tourism, energy generation and transport, and telecommunications. The AMPLIF-AI project aims to create a system based on artificial intelligence that will enable inspection teams to assess the condition of infrastructures in real time in various application cases in the Alpine context. The partners will develop a system consisting of a ground platform and unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) supervised by the inspection team. The UAV will host on-board intelligence that will manage navigation and localisation sensors and case study-specific sensors. The ground platform will be a mobile base and will act as a communication relay with the UAVs. It will host high-performance computing processors to create the three-dimensional model of the infrastructure under inspection and enrich it in real time with the images transmitted by the UAVs. The model may be merged with data available from other sources. The project includes a final validation of a case study.
