In recent years, there is concern the increase of the deteriorated public infrastructures and plants constructed during the high economic growth period in Japan. The utilization of the robot technology will be expected for inspection of infrastructure/plant. In order to promote the development and spread of such infrastructure/plant inspection robots, the standard test methods that can objectively evaluate each performance are required by subdividing the robot performance. The purpose of this paper is to develop a standard test method to evaluate the visual inspection performance for the diagnosis and evaluation of deteriorations on the surface of structure such as rust and crack by the inspection robot. This paper proposed the basic design of the visual inspection test method for the tank and bridge based on the concept of the standard test method proposed NIST/ASTM. The design concept of the test piece board (200 mm square) that can reproduce various deteriorations and an example of a test field assuming a tank wall surface inspection were shown. The test piece board can be removed. The method of reproducing rust/crack and the concept of test field for visual inspection performance evaluation were described.
