Inspection is crucial to the management of ageing infrastructure. Visual information on structures is regularly collected but very little work exists on its organised and quantitative analysis, even though image processing can significantly enhance these inspection processes and transfer real financial and safety benefits to the managers, owners and users. Additionally, new opportunities exist in the fast evolving sectors of wind and wave energy to add value to image-based inspection techniques.
This book is a first for structural engineers and inspectors who wish to harness the full potential of cameras as an inspection tool. It is particularly directed to the inspection of offshore and marine structures and the application of image-based methods in underwater inspections. It outlines a set of best practice guidelines for obtaining imagery, then the fundamentals of image processing are covered along with several image processing techniques which can be used to assess multiple damage forms: crack detection, corrosion detection, and depth analysis of marine growth on offshore structures. The book provides benchmark performance measures for these techniques under various visibility conditions using an image repository which will help inspectors to envisage the effectiveness of the techniques when applied. MATLAB® scripts and access to the underwater image repository are included so readers can run these techniques themselves.
Practising engineers and managers of infrastructure assets are guided in image processing based inspection. Researchers can use this book as a primer, and it also suits advanced graduate courses in infrastructure management or on applied image processing.

About the Author
Dr. Michael O’Byrne (B.E., University College Cork Ireland) is a post-doctoral researcher in the School of Engineering at University College Cork, Ireland. His research interests are image based Non-Destructive Testing techniques for monitoring offshore structures. His doctorate investigated Automatic Detection of Damage using Image Based Techniques in Underwater Marine Structures. It involved using the latest research in image processing to detect and quantify damage that affects offshore structures, such as cracks, corrosion and bio-fouling. Currently, Dr. O’Byrne is developing new image processing techniques for infrastructure maintenance management and also looking at how underwater image processing based inspection can help estimating changes in hydrodynamic loads to structures due to bio-fouling.
Dr. Bidisha Ghosh, Assistant Professor, Trinity College Dublin, is an expert of statistical modelling, artificial intelligence techniques and data analysis. She applies these techniques to transportation networks, hydrological networks and infrastructure management. Her work in image processing relates to structural damage detection, infrastructure management, traffic monitoring, crash-barrier design and the development of a benchmark repository for such purposes.
Professor Franck Schoefs, from the University of Nantes, France, is a leading figure in the field of structural reliability and inspection-led maintenance management. He works on probabilistic modelling of inspections results and on site measurements from structural health monitoring. Major applications of his work are in bridge engineering, offshore structures and marine renewable energy. He is an expert of probabilistic modelling of marine growth on offshore structures.
Dr. Vikram Pakrashi is a Chartered Engineer and the director of Dynamical Systems and Risk Laboratory, School of Engineering, University College Cork. His research interests strongly feature infrastructure maintenance management and Structural Health Monitoring. Dr. Pakrashi has experience of inspecting, instrumenting and assessing numerous damaged structures at different levels of complexity and detail.

Right of withdrawal
If you are a consumer you can withdraw from the contract in accordance with the following. Consumer means any natural person who is acting for purposes which are outside his trade, business, craft or profession.
Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.
You shall send back the goods or hand them over to moluna, Greven, Germany, without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.
Exceptions to the right of withdrawal
The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
- The supply of digital content which is not supplied on a tangible medium (e.g. on a CD or DVD) if you accepted when you placed your order that we could start to deliver it, and that you could not withdraw once delivery had started.
