Inspecting Sewer Line Safety Using Thousands of Hours of Video

The SewerAI team developed a computer vision model to improve the inspection process of municipal sewer infrastructure, reducing costs and improving safety. They used Anyscale's Ray project to scale their machine learning workloads, achieving a 3x speedup in batch inference, reducing GPU utilization from 25% to over 95%, and saving over 1 FTE. The solution enables municipalities to map, monitor, and maintain critical wastewater infrastructure more efficiently, with improved accuracy and reduced operating costs.
