wind-turbine Computer Vision Project

Here are a few use cases for this project:

1. Wind Farm Management: The model could be integrated into a drone surveillance system to monitor the condition of wind turbines in a wind farm. The identification of obstacles such as power lines and antennas can help plan efficient paths for drone inspection to prevent collisions.

2. Utility Infrastructure Inspection: Utility companies could use the model to enhance inspection procedures, identifying the status of power lines, wind turbines, antennae, and chimneys from photographs or video feeds. It can provide automatic detection supporting efficient maintenance planning.

3. Aerial Navigation Systems: The model could be used to improve the safety of aerial navigation systems, such as helicopters or drones, by identifying potential obstacles in their operational airspace, like turbines, antennas, chimneys, and power-lines.

4. Urban Planning: City planners and architect could use the model in aerial or satellite imagery to detect and map out the distribution of these infrastructures (wind turbines, power lines, antennas, and chimneys) for more effective city planning, zoning and development.

5. Environmental Impact Assessment: Ecologists can use the model in assessing the potential impact of obstacles such as wind turbines and power-lines on local wildlife, particularly migratory birds. Detecting the number and location of these obstacles could help implement preventive measures.
