  An Article Review on Vision-Based Defect Detection Technologies for Reinforced Concrete Bridges
  Author(s): Ahmed Mohammed Abdelalim*, Yasmin Shalaby, Gamal A Ebrahim and Mohamed Badawy
  
  Bridges are crucial and the most vulnerable element in the infrastructure systems. A major challenge is to maintain bridge structures at a sufficient level of safety. Scheduled inspections in these structures are important to prevent any failure. The requirement of periodic inspection is urgently needed to maintain the bridges in safe operating condition for the public. Visual inspection is currently the main form for the flaw’s inspection. Nevertheless, it is suffering from time consuming and some limitations related to subjectivity and uncertainty. Due to the complexity of bridge structure, automatic defect detection is an urgent requirement for reinforced concrete bridges. In view of this, the creation and utilization of computer vision method has received considerable attention in several applications of civil engineering. Thus, this paper introduces a comprehensive study in.. Read More»
