Abstract: A bilevel superpixel-based framework for the vision inspection of rail conditions and automatically detecting rail surface cracks is proposed in this paper. The simple linear iterative clustering (SLIC) algorithm is applied ...

Abstract: One of the main barriers to the acceptance and adoption of fiber-reinforced polymers (FRPs) in structural engineering is the brittle failure mode and limited ductility caused by the elastic-brittle behavior of FRP materials. ...

Abstract: To ensure the safety of tunnel construction, it is necessary to accurately and timely measure the deformation of the shotcrete liner during the management of the construction process. The light detection and ranging (LiDAR) ...
