Have you ever heard of an intelligent capture system? To explain what this is, it is necessary to think about the amount of data that circulates around the world daily. And we are not just talking about digital data on the internet, but also those pieces of information that are in the "real world." Documents that enter companies, routes, cargos, and other information can be registered intelligently, reducing manual work. DeepLine is a system developed by Pix Force. Using sensors, it can do all this work, and that is what we talk about in this article. Happy reading!

What is DeepLine?
DeepLine is a capture system developed to collect data from urban environments and roads. It is mounted on a car and consists of the use of various sensors. These include a LiDAR, 360º camera, stereo camera, and GNSS module, all integrated into a single device. Each sensor plays an important role in the process, which are: • LiDAR: the optical sensor measures the distance of objects using laser pulses and creates a 3D map of the environment around the vehicle.
• 360º Camera: captures panoramic images of the environment.
• Stereo camera: captures 3D images, allowing for object detection and the distance between them.
• GNSS Module: obtains location information, allowing captures to be georeferenced and precise.
Based on this information, a mobile application communicates with the device installed in the car and allows users to perform tasks. It is possible to customize settings, view images in real-time, monitor the operational status of the sensors, and control capture sessions.
What is the DeepLine system used for?
DeepLine is very useful for electric power companies that need to monitor the power distribution network. It allows the identification of utility poles, power lines, transformers, and other equipment, as well as detecting faults and damages that could lead to higher costs and significant headaches. All of this is done through an intelligent capture system that collects data and performs a more detailed analysis. The system can also be used to collect data on vegetation and assist in prioritizing tree pruning. The most prominent sensor in DeepLine is LiDAR, which is capable of precisely measuring the distance of objects and obstacles in the urban environment. The system can be used to measure the height of poles and trees, as well as the width of streets and roads. In addition, LiDAR detects and measures the depth of potholes in streets and other irregularities, helping authorities plan repairs and maintenance. LiDAR's measurement capability is one of the main features of the DeepLine system, making it a valuable tool for various applications, from urban planning to environmental monitoring. • Read more cases: Discover the project for a system to detect anomalies in conveyor belts
The advantages of a smart capture system
With all these tools, it becomes possible to gather an immeasurable amount of data. DeepLine then becomes a feed source for artificial intelligence software. With the help of machine learning algorithms, it is possible to identify and qualify any object of interest in an automated way. Thus, DeepLine is a complete and integrated smart capture system that uses various technologies to collect precise data from the urban environment. In addition, it is a highly useful system for companies in segments such as electric power, traffic authorities, or other sectors that need to monitor and collect information about the urban perimeter.
What has DeepLine already generated?
According to some preliminary studies, DeepLine has already generated about 2TB of data, which will be used as a training set for neural networks, aiming to automate important tasks. In addition, the artificial intelligence system being developed by Pix Force will be able to identify with greater precision poles, wires, trees, and other important objects in images.
