lcopt-cv: Create fully functional LCA models from hand drawn pictures of process diagrams

Lcopt-cv is a python module for creating LCA foreground models from hand drawn pictures of process flow diagrams developed by James Joyce.

Pretty much every LCA starts with drawing a process flow diagram. The difficult bit is turning that diagram into an LCA model which can be analysed.

What if you could just take a picture of the diagram you’ve just drawn and have it instantly turned into an LCA model?

Well now you can - introducing lcopt-cv, computer vision for LCA.

Features

  • Uses computer vision to generate an LCA model from a photograph of a process flow diagram
  • Exports model directly to lcopt, allowing models to be analysed using Brightway
  • Links directly to the ecoinvent or FORWAST databases
