Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of building quality inspection, and in particular to a building quality inspection management system. Background Art

[0002] In the construction industry, quality inspection is crucial for ensuring structural safety and durability. Currently, the industry relies primarily on the following quality inspection methods: Inspectors rely on their experience to determine the quality of building components, such as concrete cracks and rebar spacing, and manually record the inspection results. This results in inconsistent judgments from different inspectors, resulting in high error rates and low efficiency. Furthermore, real-time monitoring is impossible, and paper records are easily lost, difficult to trace, and unable to form a structured database. Summary of the Invention

[0018] The weight factor wi is dynamically adjusted according to the reliability of historical data, and αcorr is the environmental correction coefficient.

[0019] Furthermore, the digital twin visualization platform includes:

However, this system utilizes a distributed sensor array (such as infrared thermal imagers and laser rangefinders) combined with an improved Kalman filter algorithm to achieve spatiotemporal alignment of multimodal data and noise suppression, reducing the overall detection error rate. Furthermore, the improved YOLOv5s algorithm automatically identifies very small cracks, variations in the thickness of rebar cover, and other defects that are difficult to detect manually. Especially during nighttime or high-altitude operations, the system significantly improves defect detection rates in low-light environments by fusing infrared thermal imaging data with visible light images.

[0152] Effect verification

[0153] A comparative test was conducted in a high-rise building project:

[0154]

[0155] Example 3:

[0156] Step 1: Smart sensor network deployment

[0157] Device configuration:

[0158] Vibration sensor array: piezoelectric accelerometer (range ±50g, frequency response 5-1000Hz), spacing ≤1.5m
