本文介绍了如何使用新兴的增强现实技术来实现下一代结构基础设施检查和感知。这项工作是由目视结构检查的流行推动的。众所周知，当前的目视检查技术具有多种方差来源，应该减少这些方差来源，以实现不太模糊的目视检查。新兴的增强现实工具具有各种传感器、计算和通信资源，可以以非常高分辨率、明确的方式收集相关的结构检查数据。这项工作展示了如何使用新兴的增强现实工具来极大地增强我们捕获关键基础设施的全面、高分辨率、三维测量的能力。这项工作还提供了有关增强现实结构检查应用程序软件架构的详细信息，有助于实现框架的目标。该框架旨在考虑与高后果基础设施相关的考虑因素，这一事实意味着它也足够全面，可以应用于危险较小但仍然具有高价值的基础设施，例如桥梁、水坝和隧道。增强现实在实现下一代智能基础设施方面具有巨大潜力，这项工作的重点是解决如何利用增强现实来实现高后果、长寿命结构的下一代结构意识。
This article introduces the use of emerging augmented reality technology to enable the next generation of structural infrastructure inspection and awareness. This work is driven by the prevalence of visual structural inspection. It is known that current visual inspection techniques have multiple sources of variance that should be reduced in order to achieve less ambiguous visual inspections. Emerging augmented reality tools feature a variety of sensors, computation, and communication resources that can enable relevant structural inspection data to be collected at very high resolution in an unambiguous manner. This work shows how emerging augmented reality tools can be used to greatly enhance our ability to capture comprehensive, high-resolution, three-dimensional measurements of critical infrastructure. This work also provides detailed information on the software architecture for augmented reality structural inspection applications that helps meet the goals of the framework. The fact that the framework is designed to accommodate the considerations associated with high-consequence infrastructure implies that it is also comprehensive enough to be applied to less hazardous but still high-value infrastructure such as bridges, dams, and tunnels. Augmented reality has great potential to enable the next generation of smart infrastructure, and this work focuses on addressing how augmented reality can be leveraged to enable the next generation of structural awareness for high-consequence, long-lifespan structures.
