Abstract

Provided are a damage figure creation supporting apparatus, a damage figure creation supporting method, a damage figure creation supporting program, and a damage figure creation supporting system that enable efficient creation of a damage figure using marking colors. The damage figure creation supporting method includes a step of acquiring an image obtained by photographing a surface of a structure in color, a step of analyzing the acquired image and detecting markings applied to damaged portions on the surface of the structure for respective colors, and a step of creating a damage figure, based on detection results of the markings for the respective colors. The damage figure is configured as a diagram of tracing the markings and has a layered structure with layers each corresponding to a color.

Claims (21)

1. A damage figure creation supporting apparatus comprising a processor configured to:

acquire an image obtained by photographing a surface of a structure in color, the surface being applied with markings by drawing lines along cracks appearing on the surface, colors of the markings corresponding to widths of the cracks;

analyze the image and detect the markings applied on the surface of the structure for respective colors;

receive marking color information on the widths of the cracks respectively defined for the colors of the markings input from a user;

store the received marking color information in a storage; and

create a set of damage figures according to the detected markings of the colors and the stored marking color information, the set of damage figures having a layered structure constituted of layers, each of the layers corresponding to one of the colors of the markings and including a damage figure formed by tracing the markings of the one of the colors, each of the layers being assigned with information on classified widths of the cracks.

2. A damage figure creation supporting method comprising:

acquiring an image obtained by photographing a surface of a structure in color, the surface being applied with markings by drawing lines along cracks appearing on the surface, colors of the markings corresponding to widths of the cracks;

analyzing the image and detecting the markings applied on the surface of the structure for respective colors;

receiving marking color information on the widths of the cracks respectively defined for the colors of the markings input from a user;

storing the received marking color information in a storage; and

creating a set of damage figures according to the detected markings of the colors and the stored marking color information, the set of damage figures having a layered structure constituted of layers, each of the layers corresponding to one of the colors of the markings and including a damage figure formed by tracing the markings of the one of the colors, each of the layers being assigned with information on classified widths of the cracks.

3. A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium storing a command that, when read by a computer, causes the computer to execute a damage figure creation supporting function comprising:

a function of acquiring an image obtained by photographing a surface of a structure in color, the surface being applied with markings by drawing lines along cracks appearing on the surface, colors of the markings corresponding to widths of the cracks;

a function of analyzing the image and detecting the markings applied on the surface of the structure for respective colors;

a function of receiving marking color information on the widths of the cracks respectively defined for the colors of the markings input from a user;

a function of storing the received marking color information in a storage; and

a function of creating a set of damage figures according to the detected markings of the colors and the stored marking color information, the set of damage figures having a layered structure constituted of layers, each of the layers corresponding to one of the colors of the markings and including a damage figure formed by tracing the markings of the one of the colors, each of the layers being assigned with information on classified widths of the cracks.

4. The damage figure creation supporting apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the processor is configured to detect the markings applied on the surface of the structure for the respective colors by means of a learned model obtained by machine learning using images including markings of a plurality of colors as data for learning.

5. The damage figure creation supporting method according to claim 2 , wherein the detecting includes detecting the markings applied on the surface of the structure for the respective colors by means of a learned model obtained by machine learning using images including markings of a plurality of colors as data for learning.

6. The non-transitory computer-readable recording medium according to claim 3 , wherein the function of detecting includes a function of detecting the markings applied on the surface of the structure for the respective colors by means of a learned model obtained by machine learning using images including markings of a plurality of colors as data for learning.
