Use Drones to capture 2D images
Convert to 3D model at engineering accurate
dimensions
LOTS OF DATA
GIGAPIXEL IMAGES

Who thinks AI is hard?
Who thinks AI is expensive?
Who thinks deep domain expertise is needed?
Deep Expertise is not needed
Has become more a matter of software development
Groups of services:
- Voice/text
- Projections – Forecast – Paychex
- DeepLens and DeepRacer, learning tools
- Sagemaker
Moving company that is changing the game on estimating work
The client does the walk around of the house
Takes minutes versus hour+ and no one has to come on site
LOTS of data!!! Gigapixel images
10 – 50 GBs uploaded -> converts to 20 – 150 GPixel models
Engineering accurate to 1/32 of an inch
Typically takes 7 trips of a person
Sometimes pictures get taken that confuse the modeling software
We only want pictures of the tower, helps to control cost
Provided 1,000 images of a tower and 1,000 images of no tower, and created model. NO DATA SCIENTISTS INVOVLED!
Still areas to innovate!
Rust and cracks are a big deal
Can AI work with the AT
Sentiment analysis of text is neat, but what about reading people?
Lots of use cases for video/photo processing. Sports teams, speakers, etc

Typical Web application in a data center – monolithic application
Where is the Business Logic in this architecture?
How much stuff do we need to setup to support that logic layer?
What is the cost for all of this?
- Security
- heating/cooling /electrical
- DR and backup
- Networking equipment
- Proprietary DBs
- Proprietary Hardware
How long to build all of this stuff? 3 – 6 months
Oh, and we need 3 total environments of this
Lots of heavy lifting!!
Simple architecture!
Costs pennies per hour to run
Took about 4 hrs to implement
Results from our last tech talk
Note the rise and dips from different videos
Other presenters started to worry about results, made them more conscious of their presentation
