A Complex for Monitoring Transport Infrastructure Facilities Based on Video Surveillance Cameras and Laser Scanners

Abstract

The paper is devoted to topical issues of monitoring infrastructure facilities. The aim of the work is to discuss and analyze the most promising and effective methods for monitoring transport infrastructure facilities, developed as a result of recent interdisciplinary studies. After analyzing and combining the results of previous studies, the team of authors presented a model of a complex for monitoring transport infrastructure facilities based on the joint use of video cameras and laser scanners as a permanent and periodic source of information about engineering structures, respectively. Also, the technology of computer vision, neural network algorithms and artificial intelligence methods in relation to the field of monitoring are discussed in the paper. As a result, the structure of an intelligent system for support and decision-making is presented in a graphical form, as well as a block diagram of a stationary monitoring complex based on video surveillance cameras. Conclusions are made about the feasibility and prospects of using such complexes for the needs of monitoring engineering infrastructure facilities, as well as the impact of the development of technologies used in them on world progress in general.
