Global Recognition in IEEE IES Generative AI Hackathon and Presentation at IECON 2024 – The 50th Annual Conference of the IEEE Industrial Electronics Society in Chicago IL, USA.
Amrita Vishwa Vidyapeetham research team consisting of Sanjay Kumar K. J. (Amrita School of Engineering, Coimbatore), K. L. Amritha Nandini, S. P. Saran Dharshan (Amrita School of Artificial Intelligence, Coimbatore), Dr. Sowmya V. (Associate Professor, Amrita School of Artificial Intelligence, Coimbatore) and Tharindu Bandaragoda (Centre for Data Analytics and Cognition, La Trobe University, Australia), has earned 6th place worldwide in the IEEE IES Generative AI Hackathon.
The project, titled “Automated Crack Analysis and Reporting in Civil Infrastructure using Generative AI,” aims to revolutionize infrastructure monitoring by automating the detection, analysis, predicted crack image generation and reporting of cracks using drone technology. This solution, powered by Generative AI, significantly enhances the efficiency and accuracy of civil infrastructure maintenance, contributing to the safety and longevity of critical structures.
The team will be presenting their groundbreaking work at the prestigious 50th IEEE IECON Conference of the IEEE Industrial Electronics Society in Chicago. They have secured funding from Industrial Electronics Society (IES) to attend this event, where they will showcase their innovation to an international audience of industry experts and researchers.
This remarkable opportunity comes with support from distinguished leaders such as Daswin de Silva, Chair of the IEEE Industrial Electronics Society, and Lakshitha Gunasekara, Chair of the IEEE Student Branch at La Trobe University, underscoring the global significance of the competition and the project. Their guidance and recognition further demonstrate the impact and reach of the hackathon in promoting AI-driven solutions for industrial and civil applications.
We extend our congratulations to Sanjay Kumar K. J., K. L. Amritha Nandini, S. P. Saran Dharshan, Sowmya V. and Tharindu Bandaragoda for their exceptional achievement and their contribution to the future of civil infrastructure through advanced technology.
