SIAD-AERO: A New Methodology for the Inspection of Energy Assets

摘要

This paper aims to present the SIAD-AERO Project. The Project has the objective to develop a semiautonomous system for energy assets inspection, capable to deploy embedded sensors in an aerial platform, to capture and process images in the visible, infrared and ultraviolet bands, detecting anomalies automatically and presenting an optimal plan of action. A better quality of service and operational efficiency were the premises guiding the project. The initial requirements for the system have been included and described, as well as a description of the designed system, which includes its four subsystems and its development methodology using Feature Driven Development (FDD). The achieved results are presented, discussing the paradigms broken during the project's development.
