A COMPUTATIONAL FRAMEWORK FOR NEXT-GENERATION BRIDGE IMAGING AND INSPECTION

David Lattanzi, Greg Miller

2012

Abstract

A modern framework for bridge monitoring is proposed. It is intended to, in effect, bring bridges virtually into engineers’ offices, enabling computer-assisted inspection using visual/spatial navigation and interaction, augmented with computer vision recognition and analysis techniques developed for flaw and damage detection. The technical challenges to be addressed include developing a robotic front-end image capture approach for optimum compatibility with the bridge inspection process, building scalable back-end visualization algorithms, implementing a computer vision system capable of robust field inspection, and leveraging the contextualized image data to improve decision making tools for bridge maintenance.
