Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of bridge crack detection technology, specifically to a bridge crack detection method and system. Background Technology

[0002] As a core component of transportation infrastructure, the structural safety of bridges is directly related to public safety and economic operation. However, due to factors such as environmental erosion, load-bearing effects, and material aging, bridge surfaces are prone to cracks and defects. If these are not detected and repaired in a timely manner, they may lead to structural failure or even collapse. Traditional crack detection methods mainly rely on manual visual inspection or single-spectrum imaging technology, which have the following limitations: 1. Low inspection efficiency: Manual inspection requires the erection of scaffolding or the use of inspection vehicles, which is time-consuming and has a limited coverage area, making it difficult to meet the rapid inspection needs of large-scale bridge groups.

[0003] 2. Insufficient accuracy: Single spectrum (such as visible light) is easily affected by light, stains or coatings, leading to missed detection of micro or hidden cracks; although near-infrared / mid-infrared bands can penetrate surface coatings, they lack multi-band data fusion, making it difficult to comprehensively characterize crack features.

[0004] 3. High degree of subjectivity in assessment: Traditional methods rely on human experience to judge the severity of cracks, lack quantitative assessment standards, and are prone to errors in maintenance decisions due to subjective differences. Summary of the Invention
