Tóm tắt:Building façade assessment could be performed in a more efficient way using a multidisciplinary approach and modern technologies. This study proposes the orthofaçade-based assisted inspection method (AIM), universal and applicable to different types of façade cladding and suitable for application in the condition assessment of inaccessible building façades or high-rise and large structures of all kinds. The AIM method offers a multidisciplinary approach by combining unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) technology, electronic tachymetry, and digital image processing techniques (photogrammetry and open-source computer vision methods). The method was verified in a case study performed on a high-rise building façade. On-site data acquisition of high-resolution images of façade and control points was conducted by UAV and tachymetry. The data were further processed in photogrammetric software in order to generate a georeferenced orthofaçade. Crack detection was performed at pixel level via computer code using the OpenCV library methods. The established diagnostic model, defined by control points, enables precise determination of crack location. Crack length, width, or area could be calculated based on the coordinates of its points, by performing simple mathematical operations. The AIM method provides automation of crack detection and precise determination of location and geometrical parameters of detected crack.
