Abstract

In this paper, a deep learning approach synergetically to a laser scanning process are employed for the visual detection and accurate description of concrete defects in tunnels. Analysis is performed over raw RGB images; Convolutional Neural Network serves as the crack detector, during the inspection. In case of a positive detection, the tunnel’s cross-section morphology is assessed via 3D point clouds, created by a laser scanner, allowing the identification of deformations in the compartment. The proposed approach, in contrast to the existing ones, emphasizes on applicability (easy initialization, no preprocessing of the input data) and provides a holistic assessment of the structure; reconstructed 3D model allows the fast identification of structural divergence from the original design, alerting the engineers for possible dangers.
