INDEX (Key Points Covered in the Article)

Untapped Potential: Utilizing dormant data such as 360-degree images accumulated at construction sites
From "Land Search" to "Sash Detection": Use-case expansion born from dialogue
Why It Was Possible: Technical advantages of training-data-free (non-deep-learning-dependent) x segmentation x LLM
"Replicating the Staff's Eyes" with AI: Concepts for automating progress checks and quality control
The Thrill of Open Innovation: Unexpected combinations opening up new value

Background and Our Initiatives

Our company develops and provides a computer vision platform that analyzes existing data such as 360-degree images without additional training, enabling understanding of "what is where, and how much progress has been made." The article introduces how dialogue with Fujita Corporation led to a lateral expansion of use cases from "microspace detection to building material (sash, etc.) detection," as well as the operational design (speed/flexibility) that withstands on-site deployment.

CEO Comment

"Transforming 'dormant data' that has been accumulated but not fully utilized into value that directly contributes to on-site productivity and quality.
To achieve this, we continue to refine the speed and flexibility that does not require training data. Encouraged by this feature, we will expand AI that is easier to implement."
-- Sho Katayama, CEO, Mobispace Inc.
