Analysis - Performance and Results
In this innovative project, we partnered with Kiwifarm to tackle a challenge in AI-driven infrastructure monitoring. The goal was to create a dataset for training an AI model capable of detecting defects on highway bridge joints using a camera mounted on a car driving along the Italian highways. However, the company faced a significant issue—limited real-world images of damaged joints, which made it difficult to train the AI effectively.
To address this, we developed an automated, real-time synthetic data generation system, capable of producing thousands of unique, high-quality images under varying conditions. By adjusting factors like lighting, defect shape, joint position, and vehicle placement, we ensured a diverse and comprehensive dataset, all while keeping costs low and production fast.
One of the challenges we encountered was that the AI model was initially unable to process synthetic images, as it primarily relied on real footage. To solve this, we implemented a post-process fine-tuning technique to enhance the photorealism of the synthetic images. Using a compositing script, we added imperfections like chroma aberrations, lens distortions, grain, and other real camera flaws, making the synthetic images more "digestible" for the AI model.
This project not only pushed the boundaries of synthetic data generation but also enhanced the AI model's ability to accurately detect defects in real-world conditions, enabling faster, more efficient inspections of highway infrastructure.
We prioritize optimal performance and seamless responsiveness across all devices. Our approach ensures fast loading times and smooth navigation, providing an excellent user experience on both desktop and mobile.
Performance

• Optimized Code: Clean and efficient coding practices are employed to reduce unnecessary elements.
• Scalability:Our performance-focused design ensures your website can handle increased traffic.
Results
To enhance the diversity of defects in the synthetic dataset, we developed an automated system that generated custom-shaped defects with high variability. The system allowed for complete control over key parameters such as size, rotation, position, and depth of each defect.
This flexibility ensured that the generated defects mimicked a broad range of real-world damage patterns, from small cracks to large structural issues. By randomly adjusting the shape (e.g., cracks, dents, or fractures), size (ranging from minor imperfections to significant damage), and position (across different sections of the bridge joints), the system created highly varied scenarios for the AI to learn from. Additionally, defects were randomly rotated and positioned at different depths to simulate the varying perspectives and conditions a camera might encounter while driving.
Problem - Site and Service Improvement
This approach created a vastly diverse set of training images, allowing the AI model to learn to detect defects under numerous possible configurations, making it more robust and adaptable to real-world environments.
