PORT OF BILBAO | AI-powered image processing of quay walls and fenders
The Port of Bilbao, with over 25 km of berthing quays built between 1960 and 2024, faces significant challenges due to harsh weather, chemical conditions, and potential damage from docking ships. These challenges include identifying concrete pathologies and evaluating the state of port equipment such as fenders, bollards, and ladders. Currently, the port police department conducts mandatory, time-consuming, and risky manual visual surveys, often in adverse conditions. The aim is to develop an automated, intelligent system using AI-powered image processing on floating or flying platforms to capture images of the quay walls autonomously, enhancing safety and efficiency.
