Abstract

Continuous facility maintenance is important to prevent accidents. Currently, the method of facility maintenance is dependent on visual inspection, which is labor-intensive, time-consuming and has a risk of casualties. In addition, the results of facility inspection can be different according to inspectors. In this paper, we propose an image-based inspection method, which measures location of points of interest using a smartphone image for effective facility maintenance. We performed georeferencing of smartphone images using pre-processed unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) reference images, not ground control points (GCPs). We then rectified the images using position of smartphone images derived from georeferencing onto a target plane of the facility. Experimental results show that the proposed approach has accuracies of 3.543 cm, 0.209° in the position of smartphone images and 9.829 cm in the location of points measured from images. We expect that this method can enhance utilization of image based facility maintenance.
