SUMMARY:Fiber trenches as long as the Earth’s circumference\, verified on f
	oot using a measuring wheel — where AI helps and where it doesn’t

DESCRIPTION:Description:\nOperators face enormous logistical challenges whe
	n expanding fibre optic networks. The trench network alone extends over a 
	length that is almost equivalent to the circumference of the earth. Precis
	e billing for these massive construction projects requires innovative solu
	tions. Current methods for verifying route lengths rely on on-site personn
	el who must walk the constructed sections with a measuring wheel. This pro
	cess is not only time-consuming and labour-intensive\, but also hardly sca
	lable given the dimensions involved.\n\nIn their talk\, Thorsten Nieser\, 
	Dr. Sebastian Stamminger and Dr. Tetyana Kyrey will present an approach th
	at uses AI image recognition for the automated analysis of road surfaces a
	nd pavements. Georeferenced camera images and LiDAR scans serve as the dat
	a basis. A deep learning model retrained by them evaluates the data and id
	entifies relevant surface structures. The solution presented enables a sig
	nificant improvement in quality through full inspection instead of random 
	sampling\, while also significantly speeding up the billing process. In ad
	dition\, machine evaluation ensures greater objectivity and traceability o
	f results.\n\nThe presentation focuses on practical implementation and the
	 ‘surprises of real life’ - and on providing a clear answer as to where AI
	 helps and where it does not.\n--------------------------------\n\nSpeaker
