Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of dam structure health detection, in particular to a dam crack detection device. Background Art

[0002] In the process of safe maintenance of dam structures, crack detection is crucial. Traditional detection methods have some limitations. For example, visual inspection relies on human observation, which may ignore small or difficult-to-observe cracks, and a comprehensive inspection of large dams may take a lot of time and human resources. At present, drones are more often used for photography, but the photography of dams is prone to overlap or omission, making it difficult to ensure the consistency of the photographs, and it may be difficult to identify the geometric size of cracks in subsequent deep learning or image processing. In addition, the laser scanning method is expensive, and a comprehensive scan of a large dam may take a long time, and the presence of complex structures or obstacles on the dam surface may limit the effect of laser scanning.

[0003] Therefore, it is of great significance to propose a new device to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content
