Detection of Cracks and Image Enhancement - A Practical Approach

Usually visual investigation methods have been used for inspection and monitoring of concrete infrastructures. Huge and tall structure such as cables bridges, high rising towers, dams and industrial power plant are known to have an inaccessible area and limitations in inspection field due to its geometry structure which is often dangerous , labor -intensive and involves lot of risks.So, with rapid development in technology and its uses, researchers are trying to overcome these problem. Every now and then some research is going regarding these problem and trying to overcome it. So, I also have come with the idea of using digital Image processing in mat lab to detect the cracks and enhancinf the quality of the image in such structure.
