Abstract
Description
A bridge apparent disease inspection method, inspection system and inspection device Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of bridge maintenance, and in particular to a method, a system and a device for inspecting apparent bridge defects. Background Art
[0002] After bridges are built and put into operation, they are subject to numerous factors, including environmental and vehicle loads, and can develop various surface defects. These include cracks in beams, piles, towers, cables, and anchorage areas, water accumulation within box girders, coating delamination, and deck pavement defects. These surface defects pose significant safety risks to bridge operations. If left unchecked, they can lead to partial damage or even total collapse, seriously threatening the structural integrity of the bridge. Inspections for bridge defects are fundamental to evaluating the overall performance of bridges and provide data support for bridge maintenance projects. They are a crucial tool for ensuring traffic safety and extending bridge service life. Because most bridge structures are suspended above the ground or water, current inspections for surface defects are primarily manual. However, manual inspections require close observation, which carries a high risk factor and is susceptible to subjective influences. Furthermore, inspection records are often kept in paper form, making them difficult to preserve and organize.

[0062] Example 1:
[0063] This embodiment provides a method for inspecting bridge surface defects.
[0064] Referring to Figure 1, this method is illustrated:
[0065] S1. Real-time acquisition of a set of inspection images captured by a monocular camera during bridge inspection;
[0066] In this embodiment, the photographed parts of the bridge include the bridge deck pavement, bridge piles, cables, the inside and outside of the beam, the tower body, the anchorage area, etc.
[0067] S2. Use visual inspection algorithms to dynamically identify target diseases in the inspection image set;
[0068] In this embodiment, the visual inspection algorithm is obtained through training and optimization of a database containing various bridge surface defects, and can quickly and efficiently dynamically identify and detect bridge surface defects, where bridge surface defects include cracks, water accumulation, concrete damage; rust on key components; paint peeling; deformation, oil spillage, and damage to asphalt bridge deck pavement; polishing, peeling, exposure, misalignment, potholes, spalling, and damage to joint materials of concrete bridge deck pavement.
[0069] S3. Select the QR code positioning point in the bridge and determine the spatial coordinates of the QR code positioning point, and calculate the first relative position of the monocular camera and the QR code positioning point based on the eight-direction QR code positioning method;
[0070] Specifically, step S3 includes:
[0071] S31. The bridge beam is formed as a hollow cuboid having a certain thickness, wherein the inner portion of the hollow cuboid is the inner facade of the beam and the outer portion is the outer facade of the beam;
[0072] S32. Select four QR code positioning points on the inner and outer sides of the cuboid respectively, and obtain the spatial position coordinates of all the QR code positioning points.
[0073] Specifically, please refer to Figure 2. The principle for arranging the positioning points inside the cuboid is to place three QR code positioning points at any three corners of the bottom surface of the cuboid, and one QR code positioning point at any corner of the top surface of the cuboid. The principle for arranging the positioning points outside the cuboid is to place three QR code positioning points at any three corners of the top surface of the cuboid, and one QR code positioning point at any corner of the bottom surface of the cuboid. A schematic diagram of the QR code positioning points is shown in Figure 2:
[0074] Positioning points A, B, and C are three QR code positioning points on the inner lower bottom surface, and positioning point D is a QR code positioning point on the inner upper top surface.
[0075] Positioning points E, F, and G are three QR code positioning points on the outer upper top surface, and positioning point H is a QR code positioning point on the outer lower bottom surface.
[0076] The position information of the QR code positioning point is obtained through the spatial position information of the corresponding position of the beam during the bridge design stage.
[0077] S33. Select a QR code positioning point as the starting point of the monocular camera, and select a QR code positioning point adjacent to the starting point as the end point of the monocular camera;
[0078] In this embodiment, when inspecting the vertical surface of the beam body, positioning point B is selected as the starting point and positioning point C is selected as the end point;
[0079] The spatial position coordinate system is constructed with the positioning point B as the coordinate origin, BA is the Y direction of the spatial position coordinate system, BC is the X direction of the spatial position coordinate system, and BD is the Z direction of the spatial position coordinate system.
[0080] S34. Obtaining the acceleration and first duration of the monocular camera during the movement from the starting point to the end point;
[0081] Specifically, the monocular camera scans the QR code of the positioning point B to obtain the position of point B (X B ,Y B ,Z B ), start timing after scanning, record the acceleration change at each moment, the acceleration in the three directions at each moment is (a X ,a Y ,a Z )
[0082] S35. Calculate the relative distance between the monocular camera and the starting point based on the acceleration of the movement and the first duration;
[0083] From this, we can see that the relative displacement of the monocular camera in the X, Y, and Z directions and the positioning point B is:
[0084] Among them, S X 、S Y 、S Z are the relative displacements between the monocular camera and the positioning point B in the X, Y, and Z directions, respectively, and t represents time.
[0085] From this we can see that the spatial position of the monocular camera at time t is (X B +S X ,Y B +S Y ,Z B +S Z ).
[0086] S36. The error correction amount of the spatial position coordinates of the monocular camera is calculated using the spatial position coordinates of the starting point, the spatial position coordinates of the end point, and the moving distance of the monocular camera;
[0087] Specifically, when correcting the error in the X direction, after scanning the positioning point B, the inspection moves to the positioning point C and scans the QR code to obtain the position information of the positioning point C (X C ,Y C ,Z C ), the positioning error in the X direction is X B +S X -X C , the positioning error in the Y direction is Y B +S Y -Y A , the positioning error in the Z direction is Z B +S Z -Z D ;
[0088] Among them, the X-direction error correction value δS X for:
[0089] Y-direction error correction δS Y for:
[0090] Z-direction error correction δS Z for:
[0091] S37. The spatial position coordinates of the monocular camera (X B +S X +δS X ,Y B +S Y +δS Y ,Z B +S Z +δS Z ).
[0092] S4. Determine the relative distance and relative angle between the monocular camera and the target disease, and use the relative distance and relative angle to calculate the relative position of the target disease and the monocular camera;
[0093] Specifically, step S4 includes:
[0094] S41. Obtain the angular velocity and second duration of the monocular camera moving from the starting point to the target disease;
[0095] Specifically, the angular velocity in the X, Y, and Z directions is (ω X ,ω Y ,ω Z ), the time it takes for the monocular camera to move from the starting point to the target disease is the second time length t′.
[0096] S42. Calculate the relative angle between the target disease and the monocular camera based on the angular velocity of the movement and the second duration;
[0097] Therefore, the angle θ between the target disease and the three directions of X, Y, and Z at time t′ is X ,θ Y ,θ Z are θ X =∫(ω X )dt′; θ Y =∫(ω Y )dt′; θ Z =∫(ω Z )dt′;
[0098] From this, we can know that the relative position of the marked defect in the X direction and the monocular camera is: D X =D×sinθ Z ×cosθ X ;
[0099] Similarly, the relative position of the target disease in the Y and Z directions to the monocular camera is: D Y =D×sinθ Z ×cosθ Y ; D Z =D×cosθ Z ;
[0100] S5. The spatial position coordinates of the target disease (X B +S X +δS Y +D X ,Y B +S Y +δS Y +D Y ,Z B +S Z +δS Z +D Z ).
[0101] Example 2:
[0102] As shown in FIG2 , the present application also provides a bridge surface defect inspection system, comprising:
[0103] The perception module is used to monitor the environmental data of the bridge and collect the detection image set of the bridge;
[0104] The computing and processing center is used to dynamically identify the target disease in the detection image set and select an image with the closest distance between the target disease and the image center from the detection image set as the disease image;
[0105] The computing and processing center can use a visual detection algorithm to dynamically identify target defects in the detection image set, wherein the visual detection algorithm is obtained through training and optimization of a database containing various bridge apparent defects, and can quickly and efficiently dynamically identify and detect bridge apparent defects.
[0106] The identification results of the target disease include but are not limited to the disease type, location, and morphological characteristic parameters (length, width, area, etc.).

[0108] The data storage and transmission module is used to temporarily store environmental data, disease images, and location information of target diseases, and upload the temporarily stored environmental data, disease images, and location information of target diseases to the cloud;
[0109] Human-computer interaction module, which controls the inspection system through human-computer interaction;
[0110] Specifically, the human-computer interaction terminal is a portable device's visualization terminal and also serves as a window for executing inspectors' commands. Using a touchscreen, it supports touch, key, voice, and image input modes. If inspectors discover a missed inspection during the inspection process, they manually capture an image of the defect, along with its location information. These images are then fed into a visual inspection algorithm for defect identification and morphological feature extraction. The inspection results are then collected and uploaded to the cloud computing platform. If a false positive is detected, the erroneous data and inspection results are manually deleted, and the subsequent process is the same as for handling a missed inspection.
[0111] Specifically, the cloud computing platform is a data computing and storage platform deployed on a cloud server. A BIM model of the bridge to be inspected is pre-built on the cloud computing platform, and the collected defect images, identification results, and environmental data are mapped to the BIM model according to the location information, and different colors are used to represent the different performance characteristics of the bridge. A dynamic BIM model of bridge performance decay is constructed based on multiple inspection data. Data analysis is performed based on environmental data and defect identification measurement results to explore the mechanism and growth trend of defects, providing data support for bridge assessment and maintenance. The cloud computing platform permanently stores inspection data and organizes the inspection data into digital reports for easy storage and organization. The digital report includes the inspection personnel, inspection date, name of the inspected bridge, type of defect, location of the defect, temperature, humidity, length, width, area of the defect, etc.
[0112] Based on the above embodiment, the perception module includes:
[0113] An imaging unit, comprising a monocular camera, configured to capture a real-time inspection image of the bridge during the inspection process;
[0114] Specifically, the monocular camera can zoom and has an autofocus function.
[0115] An oxygen monitoring unit is used to monitor the oxygen concentration in a closed area during inspection, including the interior of a bridge beam. When the oxygen concentration is detected to be below the permitted normal level, an alarm is issued to remind the inspectors to leave the closed area as soon as possible.
[0116] Temperature monitoring unit: used to monitor the temperature in the inspection environment in real time, record temperature data, and issue high and low temperature warnings;
[0117] Humidity monitoring unit: used to monitor the humidity in the inspection environment in real time and record humidity data.
[0118] The temperature data and humidity data of each disease image when it is taken are saved together with the disease image and recorded as disease environment data.
[0119] Lighting unit: used for lighting when the inspection environment is dim, ensuring the quality of images collected in dark environments.
[0120] Based on the above embodiment, the spatial positioning module includes an inertial sensor and a laser transmitter mounted on a monocular camera; the spatial positioning module includes an inertial sensor and a laser transmitter mounted on a monocular camera;
[0121] The laser transmitter is used to measure the relative distance between the target disease and the monocular camera;

[0124] The three angular accelerometers are used to monitor the angular velocity of the monocular camera in three spatial dimensions. The relative angle between the target disease and the monocular camera is calculated based on the angular velocity. The spatial position coordinates of the target disease are determined by the relative angle and relative distance between the target disease and the monocular camera and the spatial position coordinates of the monocular camera.
[0125] Specifically, four QR code positioning points are set on the inner and outer facades of a section of the bridge beam. The position information of the QR code positioning points is obtained from the spatial position information of the corresponding positions of the beam during the bridge design phase. The positioning point layout principle for the inner facade of the beam is to place three QR code positioning points at any three corners of the lower bottom surface and one QR code positioning point at any corner of the upper top surface; the positioning point layout principle for the outer facade of the beam is to place three QR code positioning points at any three corners of the upper top surface and one QR code positioning point at any corner of the lower bottom surface.
[0126] Three independent accelerometers can collect the relative displacement information between the monocular camera and the QR code positioning point in three dimensions, and three independent angular velocity meters can collect the three angle data of a certain point in space relative to the monocular camera.
[0127] Based on the above embodiment, the following further comprises:

Preferably, the module is composed of removable and replaceable batteries that can be recharged and discharged multiple times, making them easy for inspectors to replace and ensure long-lasting battery life. The power management system controls charging and detects battery levels. When the remaining battery level falls below a set threshold, it issues a battery alert, reminding inspectors to save their inspection tasks and replace the batteries.

When performing inspection tasks, if there is insufficient memory, the memory can be expanded by connecting an external hard drive through the USB interface. When the inspection requires multi-lens detection, the USB camera can be directly connected through the USB interface to achieve device expansion. The expansion module supports remote system upgrades, and through the reserved data interface, the preset programs of the local computing and processing center can be changed and upgraded.
