Abstract—Most important civil infrastructures are made of
concrete, so accurate information by routine inspection is
necessary for structure maintenance. Sometimes temporarily
erected scaffoldings are needed for infrastructure inspections.
Bridge inspection for example, the inspectors must stand on the
platform to examine the underside of a bridge, but such a
procedure is risky. At present, several inspection systems
coupled with Charge Coupled Devices (CCD) cameras have
been developed and applied to infrastructure inspections in
order to reduce the danger of accidents to the human inspectors.
This paper proposes a computer vision technique based on CCD
images to attempt to automatically detect cracks in concrete
structure. The experimental result indicates that the optimal
accuracies of 90% and 84% could be achieved for the training
and testing samples, respectively
