Abstract
The inspection and maintenance of underground tunnels are critical to ensuring their long-term safety and stability, as well as to preventing potential accidents and costly repairs. In recent years, there has been increasing interest in the use of automated tunnel inspection systems to monitor tunnel conditions and detect any signs of deterioration. These systems, developed under projects like ROBO-SPECT [1], represent a significant advancement over traditional inspection methods such as LIDAR detection and handheld camera photography. Unlike these traditional methods, a robot-mounted HD camera offers a more efficient and effective solution for acquiring high-quality image-based data for tunnel inspection[2]. By mounting an HD camera on a robotic platform, it is possible to obtain a detailed and accurate 3D model of the tunnel environment, which can be used for further analysis and inspection. Moreover, the integration of cross-disciplinary datasets, particularly in the areas of geometry analysis and machine learning-based data extraction, is continuing to improve the accuracy and efficiency of automated tunnel inspection systems [3]. By leveraging the latest advances in machine learning and data analysis techniques [4], it is possible to extract valuable insights from the collected data, such as the identification of cracks, spalls, and other forms of tunnel deterioration. In summary, the use of robot-mounted HD cameras and cross-disciplinary data analysis techniques offers exciting opportunities for advancing the field of automated tunnel inspection. By continuing to innovate and improve these technologies, we can help ensure the long-term safety and sustainability of underground tunnel infrastructure.
