Abstrait:

Many damage detection methods that use data obtained from contact sensors physically attached to structures have been developed. However, damage-sensitive features such as the modal properties of steel and reinforced concrete are sensitive to environmental conditions such as temperature and humidity. These uncertainties are difficult to address with a regression model or any other temperature compensation method, and these uncertainties are the primary causes of false alarms. A vision-based remote sensing system can be an option for addressing some of the challenges inherent in traditional sensing systems because it provides information about structural conditions. Using bolted connections is a common engineering practice, but very few vision-based techniques have been developed for loosened bolt detection. Thus, this article proposes a fully automated vision-based method for detecting loosened civil structural bolts using the Viola–Jones algorithm and support vector machines. Images of bolt connections for training were taken with a smartphone camera. The Viola–Jones algorithm was trained on two datasets of images with and without bolts to localize all the bolts in the images. The localized bolts were automatically cropped and binarized to calculate the bolt head dimensions and the exposed shank length. The calculated features were fed into a support vector machine to generate a decision boundary separating loosened and tight bolts. We tested our method on images taken with a digital single-lens reflex camera.
