EXAMINATION OF THE POSSIBILITY OF BRIDGE INSPECTION IN A 4D ENVIRONMENT USING AI AND VR TECHNOLOGY

Abstract

In the field of maintenance and management of social infrastructure, there is a shortage of engineers due to the declining birthrate and aging population. In addition, as the number of aging structures is increasing, it is necessary to reduce maintenance costs. In recent years, the ICT field, which is an alternative method for close-up visual inspection, has been attracting attention as a technology that can be expected to solve such labor shortages and reduce costs. With the method using VR (Virtual Reality), it is not necessary to go to the site, so labor saving in the inspection work of social infrastructure can be expected.line. In this research, we utilize VR technology to reproduce an actual bridge in VR space and display the damage detected using AI. Consequently, establish an inspection environment and verify the possibility of inspection support by displaying AI results
