Inspiration

As a team of data scientists we wanted to tackle the biggest challenge going. That's the one involving LIDAR data.

What it does

Our project has three parts:

  • A Neural Network to process and classify the LIDAR data into objects (e.g. foliage, tracks, buildings etc.)
  • An interactive map showing the locations of the assets and the locations of the LIDAR scans
  • A dashboard to bring this all together

How I built it

  • Neural Network: Python + a pre-trained Pointnet Neural Network
  • Interactive Map: Python & Folium
  • Dashboard: Javascript, Bootstrap and React
  • Other stuff: Coffee, caffiene & good vibes

Challenges I ran into

  • The overhead LIDAR data wasn't of a high enough resolution so we instead used the train mounted LIDAR scan which performed better.
  • We were unable to link the LIDAR and the Asset Register
  • Anything to do with Devpost. Like we've got time to upload videos to YouTube!!!

Accomplishments that I'm proud of

  • Just getting the Neural Network to classify things correctly was a huge challenge - we're very proud of this.
  • Working well as a team and sticking to the requirement
  • Our interaction with the mentors. They're all cool!

What I learned

  • That AI in 48 hours is hard!
