Mainblades Inspections is on a mission to change the way inspections are performed for large commercial aircraft. Our company develops data-driven technology, focused on automation of the complete inspection process: from autonomous drone flight, to damage detection and assessment of visual data, all the way to automated reporting. Our automated drone inspections for aircraft allows for a more rapid and effective inspection on any location, enabling our customers to keep their aircraft off the ground.
A key aspect of the automated inspection is the ability to detect damage from the images the drone is capturing of an aircraft, making use of computer vision techniques and machine learning algorithms. For computer vision applications, deep convolutional neural networks (CNN) gained a lot of momentum due to their empirical success on visual recognition tasks.
Typically, neural networks approximate a conditional probability distribution over the possible labels given a certain input image. However, when confronted with images that are outside of the training distribution, this can be problematic. For this very safety critical application in the aviation industry, it is important that some sort of measure is returned, that indicates if the neural network prediction can be trusted or not.
The resulting output must be interpretable by the people that will use the neural network. This assignment has a very practical orientation and we are aiming to have a demonstratable solution at the end of the internship.
