New No-Code Tool Simplifies AI for Structural Defect Detection

Researchers have developed YOLOEZ, an open-source, GUI-based tool designed to simplify the application of YOLO models for automated structural defect detection. This no-code workflow integrates data labeling, model training, and inference into a single interface, aiming to lower the technical barriers that have limited the adoption of advanced computer vision techniques in structural health monitoring. YOLOEZ has demonstrated superior performance compared to traditional methods and other modern computer vision tools, making AI-driven predictive maintenance and digital twin applications more accessible. AI

IMPACT Lowers the barrier for applying AI in structural health monitoring, potentially accelerating adoption of predictive maintenance and digital twins.
