The digitisation of assets for the creation of digital twins is a big step towards improving understanding and management of infrastructures. Nevertheless, the large volume of quantitative data collected can be difficult to exploit due to its size and complexity. Artificial intelligence algorithms (AI) are used to facilitate interpretation of inspections by highlighting the changes. When this analysis is carried out on the whole of an asset, it offers a larger perspective of the state of the structure.
