Project Objective |
To measure the thickness of concrete material removed by hydro mining and manual scaling (MODOT project) on 2 lanes each of 3 MODOT bridges up to 1000’ long, using before and after LIDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) scans and developing change detection algorithms. | ||||
Project Abstract |
We propose to measure the thickness of the removed concrete material as a result of hydrodemolition (and manual removal) using before and after LIDAR measurements and adapting/developing change detection algorithms. | ||||
Relationship to other Research/Projects |
GPR data is related to the MODOT/UMC/MST Bridge Project. |
