Image Quality Assessment of Mobile-based Image Acquisition System for Disaster Scientific Investigation

Critical Infrastructure Asset Imaging Pipeline

“…While there is work on sensing issues through a variety of other means (e.g., using smart grids for monitoring electrical infrastructure [10]) visual inspection is still key for monitoring the status of infrastructure assets and diagnosing potential problems, such as ice loading, snow cover, and vandalism. Assessing infrastructure following natural disasters, such as fires, flooding, earthquakes, etc., would also benefit from on-site imaging [11]. Lastly, inspection of road-adjacent infrastructure for unauthorized addition or modification of equipment is another important use case for vehicle-based imagery.…”
