New multimodal AI system integrates RAG, thermal sensing for damage analysis

Researchers have developed an integrated multimodal AI system designed for damage assessment. This system combines retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) with thermal sensing and vision foundation models. The RAG component grounds a language model in project-specific documentation to improve factual consistency, with graph-based retrieval showing stronger performance for complex reasoning tasks. Thermal sensing enhances object detection and segmentation, especially in adverse conditions, while vision models generate synthetic data and classify damage severity. The system also explores wireless sensing for detecting environmental changes where other methods fail. AI

IMPACT This multimodal system could enhance damage assessment accuracy and efficiency in various applications.
