This paper aims to present a novelty damage detection method to identify damage locations by the simultaneous use of both the energy and displacement damage indices. Using this novelty method, the damaged location and even the damaged floor are accurately detected. As a first method, a combination of the instantaneous frequency energy index (EDI) and the structural acceleration responses are used. To evaluate the first method and also present a rapid assessment method, the Displacement Damage Index (DDI), which consists of the error reliability (β) and Normal Probability Density Function (NPDF) indices, are introduced. The innovation of this method is the simultaneous use of displacement-acceleration responses during one process, which is more effective in the rapid evaluation of damage patterns with velocity vectors. In order to evaluate the effectiveness of the proposed method, various damage scenarios of the ASCE benchmark problem, and the effects of measurement noise were studied numerically. Extensive analyses show that the rapid proposed method is capable of accurately detecting the location of sparse damages through the building. Finally, the proposed method was validated by experimental studies of a six-story steel building structure with single and multiple damage cases.

In this paper, we propose a pothole detection method using various features of intensity and motion. Segmentation, decision steps of pothole detection are processed according to the values which are derived from feature characteristics. For segmentation using intensity, we use a binarization method using histogram to separate pothole region from background. For segmentation using motion, we filter using high pass filter and get standard deviation value. This value is divided by regression value according to camera environment such as photographing angle, height, velocity, etc. We get binary image by histogram based binarization. For decision, candidate regions are decided whether pothole or not using comparison of candidate and background's features. Experimental results show that our proposed pothole detection method has better results than existing methods and good performance in discrimination between pothole and similar patterns.

Due to disasters such as earthquakes and landslides in urban areas, persons have been buried inside collapsed buildings and structures. Rescuers have mainly utilized detection equipment by applying sound, video and electric waves, but these are expensive and due to the directional approaches onto the collapsed site, secondary collapse risk can arise. In addition, due to poor utilization of such equipment, new human detection technology with quick and high reliability has not been utilized. To address these issues, this study develops a wireless signal-based human detection module that can be loaded into an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV). The human detection module searches for the 3D location for buried persons by collecting Wi-Fi signal and barometer sensors data transmitted from the mobile phones. This module can gain diverse information from mobile phones for buried persons in real time. We present a development framework of the module that provides 3D location data with more reliable information by delivering the collected data into a local computer in the ground. This study verified the application feasibility of the developed module in a real collapsed area. Therefore, it is expected that these results can be used as a core technology for the quick detection of buried persons' location and for relieving them after disasters that induce building collapses.

In recent years, image processing techniques for detecting road surface damaged spot have been actively researched. Especially, it is mainly used to acquire images through a smart phone or a black box that can be mounted in a vehicle and recognize the road surface damaged region in the image using several algorithms. In addition, in conjunction with the GPS module, the exact damaged location can be obtained. The most important technology is image processing algorithm. Recently, algorithms based on artificial intelligence have been attracting attention as research topics. In this paper, we will also discuss artificial intelligence image processing algorithms. Among them, an object detection method based on an region-based convolution neural networks method is used. To improve the recognition performance of road surface damage objects, 600 road surface damaged images and 1500 general road driving images are added to the learning database. Also, supervised learning using background object recognition method is performed to reduce false alarm and missing rate in road surface damage detection. As a result, we introduce a new method that improves the recognition performance of the algorithm to 8.66% based on average value of mAP through the same test database.

Quickly picking up some valuable information from massive manufacturing event stream usually faces with the problem of long detection time, high memory consumption and low detection efficiency due to its stream characteristics of large volume, high velocity, many variety and small value. Aiming to solve the problem above for the current complex event processing methods because of not sharing detection during the detecting process for massive manufacturing event streams, an efficient complex event processing method based on multipattern sharing is presented in this paper. The achievement of this paper lies that a multipattern sharing technology is successfully used to realize the quick detection of complex event for massive manufacturing event streams. Specially, in our scheme, we firstly use pattern sharing technology to merge all the same prefix, suffix, or subpattern that existed in single pattern complex event detection models into a multiple pattern complex event detection model, then we use the new detection model to realize the quick detection for complex events from massive manufacturing event streams, as a result, our scheme can effectively solve the problems above by reducing lots of redundant building, storing, searching and calculating operations with pattern sharing technology. At the end of this paper, we use some simulation experiments to prove that our proposed multiple pattern processing scheme outperforms some general processing methods in current as a whole.

Airborne LIDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) technology has reached a degree of the required accuracy in mapping professions, and advanced LIDAR systems are becoming increasingly common in the various fields of application. LiDAR data constitute an excellent source of information for reconstructing the Earth's surface due to capability of rapid and dense 3D spatial data acquisition with high accuracy. However, organizing the LIDAR data and extracting information from the data are difficult tasks because LIDAR data are composed of randomly distributed point clouds and do not provide sufficient semantic information. The main reason for this difficulty in processing LIDAR data is that the data provide only irregularly spaced point coordinates without topological and relational information among the points. This study introduces an efficient and robust method for automatic extraction of building footprints using airborne LIDAR data. The proposed method separates ground and non-ground data based on the histogram analysis and then rearranges the building boundary points using convex hull algorithm to extract building footprints. The method was implemented to LIDAR data of the heavily built-up area. Experimental results showed the feasibility and efficiency of the proposed method for automatic producing building layers of the large scale digital maps and 3D building reconstruction.

The number of pedestrians is considered essential information which can be used to control a person who makes a entrance or a exit into a building. The number of pedestrians, also, can be used to help to manage pedestrian traffic and the volume of pedestrian flow within the building. Due to the fact there is incorrect detection by occluded, shadows, and illumination, however, difficulty can arise in existing system which is for detection and counts of a person who makes a entrance or a exit into a building. In this paper, it is minimized that the change of illumination and the effect of shadow through the transmitted image from camera which is created and processed with great adaptability. The accuracy of the calculations can be increase as well by using Kalman Filter and Mean-Shift Algorithm in order to avoid overlapped counts. As a result of the test, it is proved that the count method that shows the accuracy of 95.4% should be effective for detection and counts.
