DNV GL successfully concludes autonomous drone inspection test

Classification society DNV GL has announced that a drone has successfully inspected an oil tank on board an FPSO, and that the live footage streamed by the drone was interpreted in real-time by an algorithm to detect cracks in the structure.

The video was livestreamed via a proprietary cloud-system to the asset owner’s headquarters in Trondheim, where the footage was monitored by engineers.
