  • Publication number: 20230111766
    Abstract: Provided are a structure inspection method and a structure inspection system capable of easily detecting an abnormal location and inspecting an internal state of the abnormal location in detail. The structure inspection method includes: a step of capturing a thermal image of a surface of a structure with an infrared camera; a step of detecting a first region estimated to have an internal abnormality, on the basis of the thermal image; and a step of measuring an internal state of the first region in a case where the first region is detected. In the step of measuring the internal state of the first region, the internal state of the first region is measured by capturing an image that visualizes the internal state of the first region using an electromagnetic wave or an ultrasonic wave.

    Abstract: A flight imaging system and a method suitable where an unmanned flying object equipped with a visible camera and millimeter-wave radar is used, and a structure imaged by the visible camera and millimeter-wave radar mounted on the unmanned flying object are provided. A drone constituting the flight imaging system is equipped with a visible camera and a millimeter-wave radar. A processor of the drone performs control of the visible camera to capture a visible image of a surface layer of the structure, and control the millimeter-wave radar to transmit a millimeter wave toward the structure and receive a reflected wave of the millimeter wave from the structure, in a case of imaging the structure. During flight of the drone, the altitude of the drone is measured by an altitude meter mounted on the drone, altitude information indicating the measured altitude is acquired, and is used, in flying the drone.

  • Publication number: 20230082753
    Abstract: Provided are a structure inspection method and a structure inspection system capable of efficiently inspecting structure and predicting deterioration with high accuracy. The structure inspection method includes: acquiring information on a location having internal damage within an inspection target region; and imaging the inspection target region with a visible light camera a plurality of times while shifting an imaging location, wherein a location except for the location having the internal damage is imaged with first pixel resolution and the location having internal damage is imaged with second pixel resolution higher than the first pixel resolution. Damage appearing on a surface of the structure is detected on the basis of a visible light image captured by the visible light camera. Information on the location having internal damage within the inspection target region is acquired by capturing an image that visualizes an internal state of the inspection target region.
