Description of Invention
### **Abstract** This project presents an autonomous drone-based system equipped with LIDAR and Thermal Sensors for real-time corrosion detection and severity estimation in industrial infrastructures. The system utilizes AI-driven analysis of sensor data to deliver accurate corrosion assessments, improving safety and efficiency. Field tests at various industrial sites demonstrated a 70% reduction in inspection time, a 25% increase in detection accuracy, and enhanced safety by minimizing human involvement. The cloud-based monitoring dashboard provides continuous, remote oversight, revolutionizing maintenance processes by ensuring timely and informed decisions. This approach offers significant advantages over traditional inspection methods.
