Abstract
Description
TECHNICAL FIELD

[0002] Due to environmental stress changes, material aging, foundation settlement, structural load fluctuations and other factors, the outer facade structure of a building often has cracks of different degrees.

Therefore, accurately measuring the width of the cracks is of great significance for structural health assessment, development of post-maintenance strategies and quality responsibility determination.
[0003] Existing building crack width measurement methods mainly include manual visual inspection, caliper card, contact displacement sensor and visual image recognition. Among them, the manual method relies on personnel experience and has poor repeatability; the contact measurement needs to contact the crack edge, which is not suitable for high-altitude, outer wall or fragile surface areas; the visual image method has the advantages of non-contact and high efficiency, but it is easy to misjudge under the influence of light changes, surface pollution or attachments, and lacks a structural judgment mechanism to distinguish between "active cracks" and "historical cracks", which makes it difficult to support structural safety decisions.

[0047] As shown in Figs. 1-2 An image analysis-based building crack width measurement method, comprising the following steps:
[0048] S1, collecting self-fluorescence decay images of the building surface under ultraviolet excitation, and generating a crack response coefficient matrix according to the material aging degree;
[0049] S2, driving micro-pulse thermal imaging based on the crack response coefficient matrix, and extracting the thermal conduction abnormal boundary as the physical edge of the crack;
[0050] S3, eliminating the interference of surface attachments by an edge acoustic impedance matching model, and calculating the real width value of the crack in the material intrinsic coordinate system.
[0051] The self-fluorescence characteristics of silicate components in building materials (concrete / mortar) under ultraviolet excitation are utilized, and the decay time constant is strongly related to the carbonation degree of the material. By establishing a mapping relationship between the decay time constant and the crack development stage, fresh cracks and historical cracks are distinguished, and the problem of false measurement caused by the inability of traditional algorithms to judge the activity state of the crack is solved.
[0052] Micro-pulse heating is applied on the identified active crack area, and the thermal wave conduction process is captured based on an infrared thermal imager. The real crack has a thermal resistance mutation due to the internal cavity, and the thermal conduction front speed is lower than that of the complete area. The physical boundary position is inversed by solving the heat conduction equation, and the visual false edge interference is broken through.
[0053] S1 specifically comprises:
[0054] S11, an ultraviolet LED array with a wavelength of 365±5nm is vertically irradiated on the building surface, and a high-speed camera equipped with a time-resolved imaging module is synchronously triggered to continuously capture 8-12 frames of fluorescence decay image sequences with a time resolution of 20ns.
[0055] S12, double exponential fitting is performed on the decay image sequence to extract the fluorescence lifetime parameter τ(x,y) of each pixel point, which is expressed as:
[0056]
[0057] Wherein, τ1, τ2 represent the fluorescence lifetime components of the material bulk phase and the crack phase respectively, A1, A2 are the excitation amplitude coefficients corresponding to the lifetime components, A1 is the contribution of the "wood material bulk phase (un-cracked area)" in the fluorescence intensity decay, A2 is the contribution of the crack phase (air gap or infiltration layer), and the sum of A1+A2 is the total initial excitation intensity.
[0058] The fitting is obtained from multiple fluorescence image sequences, and the non-linear least squares method is used for estimation:
[0059]
[0060] The fitting target is to minimize the fitting residual of the time sequence I(t) of each pixel in the measured image and the model.
[0061] S13, according to the pre-stored material aging grade database, the fluorescence lifetime parameter τ(x,y) is mapped to the carbonation depth index D(x,y), and the database is established based on accelerated aging experiments, covering the τ-D corresponding relationship of concrete water-cement ratio w / c=0.35-0.55 and carbonation age 1-30 years;
[0062] S14, based on the carbonation depth index, a crack response coefficient matrix K(x,y) is constructed, which is expressed as:
[0063]
[0064] Wherein, erf(·) is the Gaussian error function, D(x,y) is the carbonation depth at pixel point (x,y), and δ is a material-dependent sensitivity factor. For C30-C40 ordinary concrete, δ=1.0-1.5mm;
[0065] Wherein, the experience judgment standard is as follows:
[0066] When D(x, y) > 2.5mm, K(x, y) < 0.05, the region is judged as historical crack;
[0067] When D(x, y) < 0.8mm, K(x, y) > 0.85, the region is judged as active crack region.
[0068] Gaussian error function is used in the application to map carbonation depth D(x, y) to crack response coefficient K(x, y), which is a common S-shaped nonlinear mapping function, and the standard definition is as follows:
[0069]
[0070] Z is a real number, erf(z) represents the standard normal distribution error cumulative distribution from 0 to z, the function value range is (-1, 1), and it is S-shaped curve, which is commonly used for smoothing threshold judgment.
[0071] Table 1 numerical property comparison table
[0072]
[0073]
[0074] As can be seen from table 1, when z > 2.5, erf is almost close to 1, supporting the engineering criterion that "carbonation depth exceeding 2.5mm is historical crack".
[0075] Adopted: Corresponding to the process of gradually deepening carbonation depth, let Smoothly transition from 1 to 0, embodying "the fresher and shallower the carbonation crack response is higher", and "the more serious the carbonation area response is weaker", thereby supporting the differentiation mechanism of "active crack" and "historical crack".
[0076] Table 2 material aging grade database table
[0077]
[0078] The material aging grade database is established by accelerated carbonation aging experiment on concrete specimens with different water-cement ratios w / c ∈ [0.35, 0.55], and the fluorescence lifetime parameters τ of each specimen are collected at different ages (1 year-30 years), and the carbonation depth D is measured by acid washing method, the database realizes accurate mapping of any τ(x, y) to D(x, y) by using bilinear interpolation method, which is used to support the construction of crack response coefficient K(x, y).
[0079] S2 specifically includes:
[0080] S21. Based on the crack response coefficient matrix K(x,y), generate the corresponding energy density distribution map E(x,y), which is expressed as: E(x,y)=E base ·[1+η·K(x,y) 2 ], where E base =20W / cm 2 Let η represent the base energy density, and η be the gain coefficient of the active region, where η = 3.0.
[0081] S22, a laser micro-area heating array is used to perform directional pulse heating on the region satisfying K(x,y)>0.5, with the pulse width set to 50ms. Simultaneously, an infrared thermal imager is started to continuously acquire the surface temperature field T(x,y,t) sequence at a sampling frequency of 200Hz.
[0082] S23, Establish the two-dimensional heat conduction characteristic equation and calculate the theoretical temperature change rate of each pixel. Represented as:
[0083]
[0084] Where α is the thermal conductivity of the material. It is the two-dimensional Laplace operator of the temperature field (spatial heat diffusion term), β is the convective loss factor, and T amb It is the ambient background temperature.
[0085] S24, calculate the relative deviation Δ(x,y) between the actual measured rate of temperature change and the theoretical value, which is defined as:
[0086]
[0087] Specifically, when Δ(x,y)>30%, the pixel is marked as a boundary point of abnormal heat conduction.
[0088] S25 performs morphological closing operations on all thermal conduction anomaly boundary points, using circular structural elements with a radius of 0.5 mm for boundary closure. It is recommended to perform an opening operation followed by a closing operation to improve the coherence and structural integrity of crack boundaries, thereby eliminating isolated anomalies caused by material porosity or local defects, and finally generating a continuous crack physical edge map.

[0095] Spot size: after focusing, the single beam spot size is about 0.5mm-1.5mm, used to cover the single pixel thermal area in the crack response matrix K(x,y).
[0096] Scanning and positioning unit: equipped with two-dimensional electrically controlled deflection mirror (MEMS micro mirror) or XY platform, to realize the alignment of heating point and target coordinates, and perform dynamic energy adjustment according to the pre-generated energy distribution map E(x,y).
[0097] Pulse controller: supports laser pulse width setting, sets pulse width to 50ms, pulse repetition period and power amplitude are adjusted through energy mapping function (i.e. control power with K(x,y));
[0098] Real-time acquisition of temperature field T(x,y,t) and feedback to control module, to verify whether the temperature rise response reaches the set heating target value (such as maximum temperature rise 10-20℃).
[0099] II. Implementation steps:
[0100] (1) Target area determination: according to the crack response coefficient matrix K(x,y), select the pixel points that satisfy K(x,y)>0.5, and generate the corresponding coordinate set
[0101] (2) Energy regulation parameter calculation: for each target point, calculate its energy density E(x i ,y i ):
[0102] E(x i ,y i )=E base ·[1+η·K(x i ,y i ) 2 ];
[0103] Map the energy density to laser power P i and pulse duration Δt i .
[0104] (3) Laser path and power scheduling: control the laser array to scan and heat point by point or in blocks in sequence, if the device supports parallel control (multiple lasers are independently controlled), multiple heating areas can be excited in parallel, and the platform remains stationary or stable positioning during heating.
[0105] (4) Pulse heating execution: for each target point, a single pulse is emitted with a pulse width of 50 ms, and after each pulse execution, infrared temperature rise monitoring is immediately performed to record T(x, y, t), and if the desired temperature rise is not reached, a "supplementary heating pulse" strategy can be executed (up to 2-3 times).
[0106] S3 specifically comprises:
[0107] S31, non-contact acoustic wave excitation and detection: a laser with a wavelength of 1064 nm and a pulse energy of 2 mJ is used to perform high-precision line scanning excitation within a range of 0.5 mm on both sides of the aforementioned crack physical edge, and the laser spot diameter is 50 μm. A laser Doppler vibrometer is used synchronously to record the vibration response of the crack area surface at a sampling frequency of 10 MHz, and the acoustic wave propagation velocity field V(x, y) is reconstructed.
[0108] S32, acoustic impedance inversion calculation: according to the acoustic wave propagation velocity and the material density distribution, the surface acoustic impedance distribution Z(x, y) of each pixel on the building surface is calculated, which is expressed as:

[0110] wherein ρ0 is the nominal density of the material, and the value of ordinary concrete is 2400 kg / m 3 , V(x, y) represents the acoustic wave propagation velocity of the corresponding point, α(x, y) represents the frequency-dependent acoustic wave attenuation coefficient, f is the main frequency of the excited acoustic wave, and the value is 1-2 MHz, the unit of the denominator term is kg / (m 3 ·s), and after being multiplied by the unit of α, which is Np / m, a unitless quantity is obtained, ensuring that the entire square term is dimensionless, so that the inside of the entire term is the same dimension as 1. In order to correct the influence of frequency-dependent acoustic wave propagation loss on the surface acoustic impedance, a normalized attenuation correction is introduced based on the standard impedance calculation.
[0111] The attenuation coefficient α(x, y) is determined by measuring the energy attenuation under pulse excitation: after laser acoustic excitation, the response intensity of the acoustic wave along the propagation path is recorded, and the local area attenuation index is extracted by fitting the spatial exponential decay trend of the response intensity. The extracted index term in the fitting expression is the local attenuation coefficient α(x, y) corresponding to the main frequency f.
[0112] The acoustic wave propagation velocity V(x, y) is calculated by continuously exciting laser points along a scanning line with a known spacing in the crack edge area, synchronously recording the surface vibration response time generated by the acoustic wave propagating into adjacent positions at each excitation point, and calculating the propagation velocity V(x, y) according to the time difference of the acoustic wave propagation and the spacing between the excitation points.
[0113] S33, interference suppression mechanism for each crack edge point (x i ,yi ), if the following condition is met:
[0114] |Z(x i ,y i )-Z0|>0.25Z0, it is determined that the point is a heterogeneous adherent or surface covering layer interference, and needs to be corrected. Wherein Z0 is the nominal acoustic impedance of the substrate, for the points meeting the condition, the acoustic impedance gradient of the effective edge points around is used for interpolation repair to restore the true material boundary shape.
[0115] S34, intrinsic coordinate system mapping: in order to eliminate the error influence of material anisotropy on crack width measurement, based on the geometric trend of crack edge and the analysis result of surface texture direction, a local principal direction angle θ is constructed, the edge point coordinates are rotated and mapped from the image coordinate system to the material intrinsic coordinate system, and the conversion relationship is as follows:
[0116]
[0117] Wherein,.x ′ ,y ′ / is the edge point coordinate in the image coordinate system, and (X, Y) is the edge point coordinate in the material intrinsic coordinate system.
[0118] S35, true crack width calculation: 30 measurement points are arranged along the crack principal axis direction at equal intervals in the intrinsic coordinate system, and the apparent width value d(k) in the normal direction is extracted at each point, and the true crack width W c (k) is calculated in combination with the acoustic impedance matching weight Z true , and the expression is as follows:
