Mixed Reality Assisted Infrastructure Inspections

Infrastructure inspectors can accelerate certain routine tasks, such as measuring all the cracks in a defect region or calculating the area of spalling, through the use of technology.

The TRB IDEA (Innovations Deserving Exploratory Analysis) Program's NCHRP IDEA Final Report for Project 222: Mixed Reality Assisted Infrastructure Inspections introduces a novel visual inspection methodology that uses a learning-based computer vision algorithm optimized for real-time operation in edge devices such as wearable devices and smartphones.
