Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the field of building detection and evaluation, and in particular to a building structure detection and evaluation system and method using multi-sensor fusion. Background Art
[0002] Plants commonly grow in buildings on structural surfaces, walls, and internal locations such as wall cracks and pipes. Plants typically spread naturally through seeds or spores, and the pores and cracks in certain building materials, such as masonry and concrete, as well as the microclimate surrounding the building, often provide favorable conditions for plant growth.
[0003] However, plant growth within buildings may cause a degree of physical and chemical damage to the structures themselves. Specifically, plant root growth can undermine the integrity of building materials, and the added weight can cause deformation and collapse of walls or structures. Acidic substances secreted by plants can also corrode building materials, and microbial activity can synergize with plant roots to accelerate the deterioration of building materials.
[0004] Existing technologies primarily rely on manual inspection or a single technical approach to detect plant growth inside buildings. Common methods include visual inspections and regular structural inspections, but these methods have limitations. This is particularly true when plants are hidden within buildings, preventing them from being directly visible. Traditional techniques are unable to effectively detect hidden plants and cannot fully and effectively assess the damage caused by plants growing inside buildings. Summary of the Invention
