  2. Automated Crack Mapping

    12 Jul 2011 | Poster | Contributor(s): Gautam Shankar, NEES EOT

    The purpose of this project is to give researchers a better tool to analyze crack damage data. For this project, we focused on images of cylindrical columns used in earthquake testing experiments. The first steps were to combine adjacent images and flatten them onto a 2-D plane. The image...
