WEBINAR
From sensors to AI vision: A new approach to pollution detection
Friday 10th April at 12:30pm
About this Webinar
Join Matthew O’Brien from AI for Enviros for a practical webinar on the evolution of AI enabled pollution monitoring. Developed in collaboration with Bio2Lab, this approach grew from a real world water quality surveillance challenge that led from field sensors to cameras, and then to AI assisted image interpretation for detecting visible pollution events.
Matthew will share lessons from operational sites with Banyule City Council and discuss where this approach may support early detection, improved situational awareness and more targeted response across stormwater and waterway assets
