Experimental Investigation on Image-Based Crack Recognition Characteristics

Article Preview

Abstract:

The desire to ensure safety of the infrastructure such as bridge, dam, and tunnel while reducing maintenance time and costs in the civil engineering applications emerged. Image processing techniques may well represent a next step in the development of smart monitoring of crack. In this paper, a method to inspect the surface crack in a concrete structure using 2D image has been proposed. The standardized crack specimen which has different crack widths was manufactured and the crack images were taken at the object distance from 5 to 60 m with 5 m step. The characteristics of the several edge operators such as Sobel, Prewitt, Robert, Canny and LoG to recognize the crack were analyzed according to the object distance.
