Detection and Identification of Expansion Joint Gap of Road Bridges by Machine Learning Using Line-Scan Camera Images by In Bae Kim, Jun Sang Cho, Goang Seup Zi, Beom Seok Cho, Seon Min Lee, Hyoung Uk Kim

“…In particular, with the increase in the number of days during the summer heatwave, the narrowing of the expansion joint gap causes symptoms such as expansion joint damage and pavement blow-up, which threaten traffic safety and structural safety. Therefore, in this study, we developed a machine vision (M/V)-technique-based inspection system that can monitor the expansion joint gap through image analysis while driving at high speed (100 km/h), replacing the current manual method that uses an inspector to inspect the expansion joint gap. …”
