Concrete Structure Inspection via Target Combination Analysis
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing technologies face challenges in reducing detection omission when inspecting concrete structures, as they primarily detect damage targets individually rather than in combination.
Innovation Solution
An information processing apparatus and method that acquire images of concrete structures, detect multiple targets, and analyze the first detection target based on combination information related to a second detection target associated with it, generating an analysis result to reduce detection omission.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If detection targets are analyzed individually, then the detection process is simple and fast, but detection omission increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines multiple detection targets into detection groups based on their spatial relationships and structural associations. By merging individual detection processes into integrated group analysis, the system achieves more reliable detection results while managing complexity through organized grouping strategies.
Solution Approach 2:
The detection system performs multiple functions simultaneously by analyzing both individual detection targets and their combinations within groups. This multi-functional approach allows the same detection framework to handle both simple individual cases and complex relational cases, improving overall detection reliability without requiring separate specialized systems.
2Reliability
If multiple detection targets are analyzed in combination, then detection omission is reduced, but processing time increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the overall detection process into hierarchical levels: individual detection target analysis and combined detection group analysis. This segmentation allows the system to process targets at different levels of complexity, reducing overall processing time by handling simpler cases individually while applying combination analysis only where necessary to reduce detection omission.
Solution Approach 2:
The system applies combination analysis selectively to detection groups rather than all possible target combinations. By performing partial combination analysis focused on high-risk or structurally related groups, the patent reduces processing time while still achieving the benefit of reduced detection omission in critical areas.

AI summary
An information processing apparatus comprising: one or more processors; and one or more memories including instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the information processing apparatus to: acquire an image obtained by capturing a structure in which a detection target exists, execute first detection data acquisition processing of acquiring first detection data that is data related to a plurality of detection targets detected from the image, acquire combination information related to a combination of a first detection target included in the plurality of detection targets and a second detection target associated with the first detection target, and analyze the first detection target of the first detection data based on the second detection target combined with the first detection target indicated by the combination information, and generate an analysis result.
