Abstract

In general, the daily safety inspection activities, which investigate damages in structures and measures the size of the damage, have been relied heavily on the visual inspection so far. Since the probe of the condition and performance of facilities by such personnel is often dependent on the subjective judgment of the investigator, the consistency and repeatability of the probing results may reduce. Particularly, damage located in a difficult-to-reach place depends mainly on experience with the naked eye, and an unsafe method using a ladder has mainly applied when necessary. Therefore, in this study, we tried to propose a way of using images that can reduce the deviation between safety inspection investigators, enhance objectivity, and improve the safety of workers. In this study, we have applied homographic transformation as a method of correcting the image. As a result of analyzing the size of the damage in the corrected image of the test subject, it confirms that the accuracy of measuring the magnitude of the damage can satisfy the target levels of 5.0mm and 0.005m2, the target accuracy levels. As a result of the field verification test to which the proposed image correction technique applied, the coefficient of variation of the crack length in the structure decreased from 5.4~7.0% to 0.072~0.12%, and that of the damaged area from 10.9% to 1.6%. It confirms that the measurement accuracy is improved. Therefore, it is expected that this study on the image utilization technique in safety inspection activities can increase the accuracy of damage measurement and improve the reliability of the safety inspection reports and exterior survey drawings.

일반적으로 구조물에서의 손상을 조사하고 손상 크기를 측정하는 일상안전점검 활동은 지금까지 점검인력에 의한 육안점검에 크게 의존하고 있다. 이러한 인력에 의한 시설물의 상태 및 성능점검은 조사자의 주관적 판단에 의존하는 경우가 많기 때문에 측정결과의 일관성과 반복성이 저하될 수 있다. 특히 접근이 어려운 곳에 위치한 손상은 육안에 의한 경험에 주로 의존하고 있으며, 필요한 경우에 사다리를 이용하는 안전하지 못한 방법이 주로 사용되고 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 안전점검 조사자 간 편차를 줄여 객관성을 확보하고, 작업자의 안전성을 강화할 수 있는 영상 활용 기법을 제안하고자 하였다. 본 연구에서는 촬영대상과의 거리와 촬영각도에 따른 영상의 변화를 보정하는 방법으로 평면사영변환을 적용하였다. 실험대상에 대한 변환된 영상에서 손상 크기를 분석한 결과 손상 크기 측정의 정확도는 목표 수준인 5.0mm와 0.005m2를 만족시킬 수 있는 것으로 확인되었다. 제안된 영상 보정 기법을 적용한 현장검증시험 결과, 구조물에 발생된 균열의 길이의 변동계수는 5.4~7.0%에서 0.072~0.12%로 감소하였고, 손상 면적의 변동계수는 10.9%에서 1.6%로 줄어들었고, 측정의 정확도가 향상되는 것을 확인하였다. 그러므로 안전점검 활동에서의 영상 활용 기법에 대한 본 연구를 통해 손상 크기 측정 정확도 향상 및 안전점검 보고서와 외관조사망도에 대한 신뢰도 향상을 기대할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.
