New funding from NCDOT: Spatially Explicit Deep Learning-based Underground Pipe Prediction for Urban Stormwater Management (Deeppipe)

Categories: News

Stormwater management is an essential urban infrastructure as it helps protects people and property from flooding, improves water quality, and reduces the risk of infrastructure damage. However, stormwater pipeline networks that create these services are complex underground systems that require regular inspection to guide maintenance and maintain integrity. Because the pipeline systems are underground, accurately […]
