Image Processing Based Analysis of Cracks on Vertical Walls

Building defects are a regular occurring in constructions all over. There is a need to identify the type of defect present and accordingly take the necessary steps for correcting the defect. This paper focuses on the various construction defects that take place on different types of walling systems for buildings. A major problem is the lack of knowledge regarding the construction concepts in the residents of the building. The study undertook tackles this problem using Image Processing and identifying various defects in an android app. This study is conducted on the walls of K-Block, Nirma University. The defects are observed and monitored through this study. The collected images are analysed and proper intimations can be pursued. Based on the recordings, various types of building defects were identified and proper gradations were given. Work is under process to monitor a house in the Virtual World, and create a visualiser of degradation of the house over the years.
