The demand for inspections has increased due to the aging of concrete structures and tile wall surfaces. The hammering test is a simple inspection method, but the inspector needs much experience distinguishing the hammering sounds. Therefore, we developed a device that automatically classifies the hammering sounds using deep learning. However, the hardware with GPU for deep learning is the one-board microcomputer, which has no display, a battery, or an input device, so the inspector cannot change the settings or check the status during the hammering test. Therefore, we used a smartphone instead of a one-board microcomputer. We also used a cloud GPU since a smartphone does not have GPU. The results showed that communication time was the bottleneck. So we considered using a 5G network and compared the classification time, training time, and battery life of the smartphone. As a result, although the training time remained the same, we found that the classification speed was 1.46 times faster than the conventional method, and the smartphone's battery life was sufficient.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
