Efficient Planning Processes and Building Renovation with AI and Digital Twins
Editorial use only in direct correlation with Deutsche Telekom AG. / Nur zur redaktionellen Verwendung im direkten Zusammenhang mit Diensten der Deutschen Telekom AG Netzausbau Breitbandausbau
The digitization and automation of planning processes require a powerful infrastructure and efficient data processing. At INTERGEO, we will showcase how our technologies, for example, help Deutsche Telekom accelerate fiber optic expansion and serial building renovation in the construction sector.
Technology Expertise in the Following Areas:
- Visualizations for Digital Twins
- Machine Learning for Environmental and Geodata Analysis
- Cloud Computing for Processing Large Data Sets
- Point Cloud Processing and Visualization
More about Infrastructure Accelerated Planning with Digital Twins
Deutsche Telekom aims to connect more than 2 million households with fiber optic networks annually. To achieve this, various planning tasks must be carried out, such as planning fiber optic routes and distribution cabinets. This process has traditionally involved a high level of manual effort for data collection and on-site inspections. The process is now accelerated through the continuous digitization of planning processes and the approval of distribution cabinets.
Fraunhofer IGD has developed efficient visualization tools and AI-based analysis tools for Telekom, enabling large volumes of environmental data, such as those collected during site surveys, to be processed, analyzed, and optimized efficiently and automatically in the cloud.
AI for Automated Surface Class Recognition from Aerial Images
- Training a U-Net Nationwide for Germany
- Combination of programming languages Python and Rust and the use of powerful GPUs for efficient execution of classification in the cloud environment
Web-based 3D planning tool for the digital planning of network distribution cabinets
- Intuitive Navigation Between Panoramas Combined with Detailed Spatial Information Through Integrated Point Clouds
- Development of acceleration structures for interactive use of point clouds in the 3D viewer
According to Telekom planners, planning can now be completed 75% faster on average compared to before. This includes efficiency gains from digitization and the elimination of on-site inspections.
Building Renovation: Automated Process for Façade Recognition and Geometry Derivation from Classified Point Clouds
Point Clouds Offer Enormous Potential for Value Creation, But in Their Raw Form, They Are Often Not Directly Usable. Here, tools for analyzing point clouds come into play, deriving more complex information from the raw data. In the construction sector, point clouds can be used to reconstruct building geometries. Among other things, we are developing software for recognizing and reconstructing building facades as a basis for creating custom insulation elements as part of serial building renovation.
From Soil Moisture to Yield Mapping: Digital Solutions in Agriculture
In the field of bioeconomy at Fraunhofer IGD in Rostock, we are significantly shaping the digital development of agricultural production. We are developing drone-supported biodiversity, plant species, and weed detection in arable farming, grassland, moors, and nature reserves using multispectral and high-resolution RGB images. In addition, multi- and hyperspectral cameras are used to detect diseases, stress, and nutrient supply in plants from near and far. In plant breeding, 3D point clouds from LiDAR scans or photogrammetry are used to digitally capture vegetation and breeding parameters. Combining data from agricultural operations, ground-based sensors, and various satellites allows for comprehensive monitoring of agricultural land, from soil moisture to yield mapping and estimation.
Marispace-X: Maritime Smart Sensor Dataspace
Marispace-X Offers New Ways in Maritime Big Data Processing and Sensor Data Analysis Through Edge, Fog, and Cloud Computing. As Europe's largest maritime digitization project, Marispace-X aims to bring together and make available all maritime data. Project partners make maritime (geo) data usable, allowing it to be linked and processed via intelligently networked sensors and data carriers (Internet of Underwater Things). This opens up numerous application possibilities in the context of the Blue Economy, such as maintaining and operating offshore wind farms, mapping old munitions, conducting biological climate protection, and much more.
Fraunhofer IGD in Kiel Contributes Its Expertise in Edge Computing, Cloud Computing, and AI-based Data Analysis, Processing, and Storage to Create a Digital Twin of the Seas.
The project partners use the Digital Ocean Lab of Fraunhofer IGD as a test environment for a GAIA-X-compliant technical and architectural data space at sea.
Digital Ocean Lab
The Digital Ocean Lab (DOL) – A Unique Underwater Test Field in the Baltic Sea – Offers Research and Industry Realistic Testing Opportunities for New Underwater Technologies and Services. Starting from an artificial reef off Nienhagen, several test areas for different scenarios are being developed under the leadership of Fraunhofer IGD.
The Interdisciplinary Research Group of the Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft Smart Ocean Technologies SOT at the Rostock Site Represents a Europe-wide Unique Alliance for the Development, Testing, and Application of Underwater Technologies.
Due to the Broad Scientific Expertise, the Researchers Are Able to Adequately and Quickly Respond to Future Requirements from Society and Industry Regarding the Protection and Sustainable Use of the Oceans.
