DESCRIPTION:Industry leaders from Duke Energy will highlight the role of dr
 ones and artificial intelligence (AI) in enhancing storm preparedness\, re
 sponse\, and recovery. The seminar will provide insights into leveraging c
 utting-edge technology to improve resilience and operational efficiency du
 ring major storm events.\n\nKey Topics:\n1. Pre-Landfall Applications\n2. 
 Post-Landfall Applications\n3. AI-Enhanced Utility Applications\n4. Techno
 logical Overview\n5. Case Studies and Best Practices\n6. Demonstrations\n\
 nAI Applications:\nFor utilities utilizing drone and field imagery for lin
 e inspections\, this presentation will detail the automatization of asset 
 and deficiency detection with computer vision strategies that improve accu
 racy and reduce development time. Deployment of these strategies can be pe
 rformed in real-time while in flight or in batch-processing. The mapping o
 f results onto a GIS-enabled map with matches to utility asset IDs is in i
 ts final stages. Demonstration videos will be shown.\n\n4 CEH credits are 
 available for this seminar.\n\n**Lunch and refreshments provided by Bridge
 Source Utilities Solutions**\n\nCo-sponsored by: BridgeSource Utilities So
