Abstract
Measurement and analysis of cracks on the surface of reinforced concrete can be an effective key for diagnosing quake-proofness of a construction or measuring material fatigue. The conventional method of diagnosis is to analyze cracks using a sketch manually produced by inspection engineers, however it takes a fairly long time and lacks quantitative objectivity. This paper proposes an automatic detection and analysis system for concrete block inspection. By employing a high-resolution camera, the cracks and displacement features are automatically extracted using an integrated image processing techniques. Utilizing the proposed method, the crack scale can be measured with sub-pixel order accuracy. Automatic feature extraction and quantitative analysis of cracks are implemented to make the system efficient tool for assisting specialists in inspection procedures.
