[0002] With the growth of transportation demand, the bridge structure is subjected to vehicle load, environmental erosion and material aging for a long time, and the performance degradation caused by damage accumulation has become a major safety hazard.
[0003] The traditional detection method has low efficiency, strong subjectivity and cannot realize real-time monitoring. The manual detection has low efficiency: it depends on visual inspection or local instrument measurement (such as hammering method, ultrasonic flaw detection), needs to close traffic, has high cost and is difficult to cover hidden damage; although the damage identification algorithm based on vibration response signal (such as frequency analysis method) is widely used, the environmental noise interference (such as wind load, temperature change) and strong vibration during train passing will significantly reduce the modal parameter identification accuracy; the data collected by the current sensor network is seriously discretized, and there is lack of effective feature extraction and fusion mechanism, so it is difficult to establish quantitative correlation between damage and response.

[0016] Please refer to Figure 1 An intelligent detection method for bridge structure damage, comprising the following steps: S1, multi-modal data fusion and lightweight processing, including integrating heterogeneous sensor data (accelerometer, displacement, visual image, etc.), reducing computational load through algorithm compression and feature extraction; S2, using a distributed monitoring architecture of non-contact measurement (vision, unmanned aerial vehicle) and embedded sensor fusion to achieve high-precision displacement capture and overcome environmental noise influence; S3, deploying a lightweight AI model on a detection terminal to complete signal preprocessing and feature extraction, realizing real-time response of damage positioning and degree evaluation, and designing an adaptive threshold lightweight classifier; S4, integrating a cross-platform collaborative detection system of unmanned aerial vehicle, robot, and fixed sensor network to build a multi-scale detection closed loop; S5, scanning suspicious areas through an unmanned aerial vehicle, arranging a robot to approach for detailed inspection, ensuring that multi-device data is tamper-proof in a blockchain, and using an interpretable AI damage evaluation engine to make decision diagnosis.
[0017] In S1, heterogeneous sensor data (accelerometer, displacement meter, visual image, etc.) are integrated, complementary information is associated through algorithms, damage recognition accuracy is improved, and the complementary nature of heterogeneous data is that an acceleration sensor captures high-frequency vibration details, a displacement sensor (such as laser / optical) monitors low-frequency deformation, and a visual image locates surface cracks. A CNN+bidirectional GRU model is used to fuse vibration and strain data to improve recognition accuracy. Lightweight data acquisition and transmission are achieved through low-power sensors, wireless transmission, and edge computing to reduce hardware deployment cost and energy consumption. Compression sensing and feature extraction technology are used to reduce computational load and improve damage recognition efficiency.
[0018] In S2, the monocular vision + time sequence optical flow algorithm is adopted, the deflection sequence is directly generated through motion blur correction (avoiding multi-exposure hardware dependence), the space-time graph convolution network (ST-GCN) is used to filter wind and rain vibration noise, the laser Doppler vibration radar + distributed acoustic sensing (DAS) is used to realize 0.01mm level displacement monitoring at a distance of 10m, the unmanned aerial vehicle multi-modal perception system obtains millimeter level precision bridge three-dimensional point cloud model through laser scanning (UAV-LiDAR): real-time monitoring of structure deformation and settlement; infrared thermal imaging: detects concrete cracks, internal cavities and other damages, and locates potential defects through temperature anomalies; high-definition visual sensing: combined with AI image recognition (such as YOLO model), automatically identifies surface cracks, corrosion and other damages, deploys high-speed cameras for multi-angle displacement tracking, uses digital image correlation method (DIC) to realize sub-pixel level displacement measurement, the precision reaches 0.01mm, embedded sensors include fiber Bragg grating sensors (FBG): embedded in key parts of the bridge, real-time monitoring of strain and temperature change, anti-electromagnetic interference; piezoelectric film sensor: captures high-frequency vibration signal, identifies micro-crack expansion; non-contact TEV sensor: detects insulation deterioration through electromagnetic coupling, without direct contact with the equipment, embedded edge computing unit performs Kalman filtering in real time, suppresses temperature, wind load and other environmental interference, and pixel displacement is obtained by integrating optical flow , combined with camera intrinsic K (focal length ƒ, pixel equivalent κ) and distance Z, converted into actual deflection D: .
