Full Description

In an era of aging infrastructure and an increasing demand for safety, structural health monitoring (SHM) has become critical for ensuring the longevity and reliability of buildings, bridges, and other essential structures. Computer Vision and AI in Structural Health Monitoring and Structural Engineering explores cutting-edge approaches to SHM, integrating advancements in computer vision, artificial intelligence (AI), and multimodal technologies to revolutionize how infrastructure is monitored, maintained, and managed. Starting with the fundamentals of SHM and structural engineering, the book examines the transformative power of computer vision applications, such as crack detection, corrosion assessment, and real-time deformation analysis. It also introduces vision-language models (VLMs), enabling automated defect reporting, multimodal analysis, and natural language interfaces for SHM systems.
