US Patent 10268913 Equipment damage prediction system using neural networks

A generative adversarial network (GAN) system includes a generator sub-network configured to examine one or more images of actual damage to equipment. The generator sub-network also is configured to create one or more images of potential damage based on the one or more images of actual damage that were examined. The GAN system also includes a discriminator sub-network configured to examine the one or more images of potential damage to determine whether the one or more images of potential damage represent progression of the actual damage to the equipment.
