Abstract

Bridge inspection is usually done visually on-site, and for this reason is problematic in places inaccessible to inspectors. In this paper we propose a solution through the analysis of features in captured images that suggest potential problems. We focus on the ability to detect cracks, and a complex-valued Haar wavelet is designed and applied to a 2D-CWPT, which is then combined with an anisotropic diffusion filter. A detection method for linear cracks is proposed through interpolation of the crack loss area and extraction processing according to the shape feature. The main results are: 1) we confirm that the complex-valued Haar wavelet is more effective for edge enhancement than the complex-valued Meyer wavelet; 2) quantitative evaluation of the proposed method for crack detection using the correct rate, sensitivity, specificity, precision rate, and F-value confirms the effectiveness of the method.
