title: "How to inspect parking garages with computer vision"
description: "Photos from a camera on a cart or vehicle driven through each level on a set route, or from a phone on a walking round, feed a model trained on the owner own images. It marks likely problems such as concrete spalling, exposed rebar, cracks, white staining from water, leaks and standing water, clogged drains, worn stripes and arrows, damaged signs, broken lights and damaged barriers, and places each one on a level map. Comparing passes shows which spots are getting worse, which helps the operator plan repairs, cleaning and when to call the engineer. Drive the route when the garage is quiet, and blur any person or plate before photos are stored. A facilities lead reviews the flags and decides what to fix, close off or send to the engineer. The model does not replace engineer inspections, required condition reviews or safety rules, and people make every repair, closure and safety call."

# How can a garage owner or operator use computer vision to keep track of wear and damage between engineer visits?
Photos from a camera on a cart or vehicle driven through each level on a set route, or from a phone on a walking round, feed a model trained on the owner own images. It marks likely problems such as concrete spalling, exposed rebar, cracks, white staining from water, leaks and standing water, clogged drains, worn stripes and arrows, damaged signs, broken lights and damaged barriers, and places each one on a level map. Comparing passes shows which spots are getting worse, which helps the operator plan repairs, cleaning and when to call the engineer. Drive the route when the garage is quiet, and blur any person or plate before photos are stored. A facilities lead reviews the flags and decides what to fix, close off or send to the engineer. The model does not replace engineer inspections, required condition reviews or safety rules, and people make every repair, closure and safety call.
## What this means in practice
- Start with one garage and one route per level.
- Label photos from your own garage for spalling, exposed rebar, leaks, drains and worn stripes.
- Drive the route when the garage is quiet.
- Blur people and plates before photos are stored.
- Send serious flags to the engineer and keep required inspections in place.
## How Lid Vizion approaches it
We start with the business decision and operating context, define ownership and measurable milestones, then use configuration, integrations, automation, or custom software only where each earns its place.
