Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a storage device, for identifying characteristics of electric grid assets are disclosed. A method includes obtaining a plurality of images, each image depicting at least one utility pole of an electric grid; detecting, in each of the plurality of images, keypoints of the at least one utility pole depicted in the image; determining, using the keypoints from at least two images of a particular utility pole, at least one measurement of the particular utility pole; determining, using the measurement of the particular utility pole, an electrical characteristic of an asset supported by the particular utility pole; and providing the electrical characteristic as an output. The two or more images include images of the particular utility pole captured from multiple different camera perspectives. The asset can include a capacitor, a transformer, a switch, a power line.
A computer-implemented method comprising:
A system comprising one or more computers and one or more storage devices on which are stored instructions that are operable, when executed by the one or more computers, to cause the one or more computers to perform operations comprising:
A non-transitory computer storage medium encoded with instructions that, when executed by one or more computers, cause the one or more computers to perform operations comprising:
