1. A method, comprising:
receiving, by a device, image data identifying images of a network device;
receiving, by the device, environmental data, historical outage data, performance data, customer data, and historical weather data associated with the network device;
processing, by the device, the image data, with an object detection and classification model, to identify objects of the network device and to generate classifications for the objects;
processing, by the device, the objects, the classifications, and the environmental data, with a geospatial decoder model, to determine relationships between an environment of the network device and the objects;
processing, by the device, the objects, the classifications, the environmental data, the relationships, the historical outage data, the performance data, the customer data, and the historical weather data, with a predictive model, to predict a probability of damage to the network device or maintenance issues for the network device; and
performing, by the device, one or more actions based on the probability of damage and/or the maintenance issues.
