T2D2: Damage Detector

Page 1

What Is T2D2? The Thornton Tomasetti Damage Detector is a technology we developed to automatically detect visible damage in various types of structures: • Concrete (cracks, spalls, exposed rebar) • Steel (corrosion, pitting, tears) • Masonry (cracks, spalls, efflorescence) • Timber

We use engineering principles to solve the world’s challenges – starting with yours. From practical tasks to creative asks, we have your solution. We are a team of inventive problem solvers who understand

How Does It Work?

that collaboration leads to better results. When faced with any challenge, we look at the big picture

The application uses the latest developments in artificial intelligence, specifically deep learning for computer vision, to detect and localize damage by analyzing inspection images. It has been trained on labeled data sets consisting of innumerable images collected through years of manual inspections on various structures with different damage classes.

and work to nail the details while fulfilling your broader goals.

Damage Detection

Assessment Reporting The T2D2 mobile app’s onboard AI inference engine performs real-time detection and reports its confidence that an observation falls into a particular damage class.

Drone Deployment

Mobile/Camera Deployment

T2D2 can be deployed on a drone for image capture at scale or to reach inaccessible spaces without special equipment or scaffolds.

The same underlying technology can be used manually as a mobile app to capture images and detect damage (and localize via GPS) in real time as an inspector walks around a site.
