Fractals and Independent Component Analysis for Defect Detection in Bridge Decks

Figure 1

(a) is a simulated concrete bridge deck (slab) with embedded defects during construction. The green arrow indicates a parallel survey line to the first rebar from left (bottom rebar mesh) while the red arrow indicates a perpendicular survey line to the rebar (top rebar mesh). (b) is the finished slab.
