The present work focuses on the use of Unmanned Aircraft System (UAS), commonly known
as drones, for the inspection and assessment of bridge infrastructures. Recent events, in …

This paper proposes a framework for obstacle-avoiding autonomous unmanned aerial
vehicle (UAV) systems with a new obstacle avoidance method (OAM) and localization …

The structural condition of bridges is generally assessed using manual visual inspection.
However, this approach consumes labor, time, and capital, and produces subjective results …

As the number of old bridges increases, the number of bridges with structural defects is also
increasing. Timely inspection and maintenance of bridges are required because structural …

Structural damage is inherent in civil engineering structures, and bridges are no exception. It
is vital to monitor and keep track of damage in bridge structures as a result of multiple …

Bridge collapses may deliver a huge impact on our society in a very negative way. Out of
many reasons why bridges collapse, poor maintenance is becoming a main contributing …

We study the problem of visual surface inspection of a bridge for defects using an
Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV). We do not assume that the geometric model of the bridge …
