Legionnaires’ disease is a severe pneumonia with a 1 in 10 fatality rate, and cooling towers containing Legionella bacteria are a common source of community outbreaks. Outbreak investigators need to find and test cooling towers to stop the outbreak and prevent more illnesses and deaths. Manual visual scanning of aerial imagery for cooling towers during investigations requires expertise, is labor-intensive, and can be error-prone.
We developed TowerScout, a tool that uses machine learning to automatically detects cooling towers visible from aerial imagery across the United States.
