An Operational Image-Based Digital Twin for Large-Scale Structures

View on DOI

Large-scale structures such as wind turbine blades are hard to inspect at scale. This paper introduces an operational image-based digital twin that combines drone-captured imagery with physics-informed modeling to locate and characterise damage on in-service assets.

The work underlies our Quali-Drone customer case, where drone inspection of wind-turbine components is deployed to cut inspection time and operator risk.
