Abstract
The need for maintenance is increasing due to the aging of facilities. In this study, we proposed a crack width measurement method for images collected at safe distances using UAVs (Unmanned Aerial Vehicles). It is a method of measuring the widths of cracks using a high-resolution (VDSR) algorithm, which measures by increasing the resolution of images taken at 3 m intervals on the wall where cracks exist. In addition, the crack width measurement value was compared with a general photographed image and a high-resolution conversion image. As a result, it was confirmed that the crack width measurement of the image to which the high resolution was applied was similar to the actual measured value. These results can help improve the practical applicability of UAVs for facility safety inspections by overcoming the limits of camera resolution and distances between UAVs and facilities introduced in the facility safety inspection. However, more detailed image resolution is required to quantitatively measure the crack width; we intend to improve this through additional studies.
