The Inspection Quality Challenge

Manual photo review is tedious, inconsistent, and error-prone. Even experienced inspectors miss 15-25% of defects—not from negligence, but from fatigue and volume.

Manual Review Reality

  • 50-500 photos per inspection
  • 0.8-8.3 hours to review
  • 15-25% of defects missed
  • Reviewer fatigue after 100 photos

With DefectVision

  • Process 1,000 images in 17 minutes
  • High detection accuracy*
  • Consistent results every time
  • Consistent analysis quality

AI Generated

Transparent AI. Honest Capabilities.

We believe in transparency about what our AI can and cannot do. DefectVision is a powerful tool that assists—but never replaces—human expertise.

What DefectVision Does

  • Identifies potential surface defects from images
  • Provides confidence scores for each detection
  • Prioritizes images for human review
  • Maintains complete audit trail of all decisions

Important Limitations

What DefectVision does not do

Does not replace engineering judgment

AI detections are suggestions that must be verified by qualified engineers. Final assessments require professional expertise.

Does not guarantee 100% detection

Detection accuracy varies by defect type, image quality, and environmental conditions. Some defects may not be detected.

Cannot assess internal or subsurface damage

Visual AI can only analyze visible surface conditions. Internal structural damage requires other inspection methods.

Performance depends on input quality

Detection accuracy is directly related to image quality, lighting conditions, and camera resolution.

These limitations are disclosed in accordance with our commitment to transparency. AI outputs should always be reviewed by qualified professionals.

Our Accuracy Commitment

DefectVision achieves 95%+ accuracy (mAP@0.5) on our validation dataset for common defect types including surface corrosion, visible cracks, and loose fasteners. Accuracy varies by defect type, image quality, and environmental conditions. All accuracy claims are validated through independent testing.
