==POSITIONING METHOD OF ELECTRIC POLE AND ESTIMATING METHOD OF THE STATE OF OVERHEAD OPTICAL FIBER CABLE - A simplified explanation of the abstract==


This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18275726 titled 'POSITIONING METHOD OF ELECTRIC POLE AND ESTIMATING METHOD OF THE STATE OF OVERHEAD OPTICAL FIBER CABLE

==Simplified Explanation==

The abstract of the patent application describes a method for remotely identifying a utility pole position and estimating the state of an overhead optical fiber cable.

* The method involves using a combination of GPS technology and image processing to determine the exact location of a utility pole.
* The system then analyzes the condition of the overhead optical fiber cable, such as identifying any damage or wear and tear.
* This technology can help utility companies efficiently maintain their infrastructure and quickly address any issues with the optical fiber cables.

== Potential Applications ==
The technology can be applied in the telecommunications industry to improve the maintenance and monitoring of overhead optical fiber cables.

== Problems Solved ==
This technology solves the problem of accurately identifying the position of utility poles and assessing the condition of overhead optical fiber cables without the need for manual inspection.

== Benefits ==
The benefits of this technology include increased efficiency in maintenance operations, reduced downtime for repairs, and improved overall reliability of the optical fiber network.

== Potential Commercial Applications ==
One potential commercial application of this technology is in the utility industry, where companies can use it to streamline their maintenance processes and ensure the reliability of their optical fiber network.

== Possible Prior Art ==
One possible prior art for this technology could be existing methods of utility pole inspection using drones or other remote sensing technologies.
