Abstract
In this paper, a fully automatic algorithm to detect rebar in reinforced concrete from Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) data is developed and validated. GPR is a widely used electromagnetic test method in bridge engineering, which is efficient, non-destructive, and sensitive to the dielectric difference. The exact rebar locations can be known from the surveyed GPR data of bridge decks manually, which is time-consuming. Therefore, an automatic, accurate and robust algorithm is necessary to engineering applications. The automatic algorithm proposed in the paper is a pattern recognition method. First, a template of a rebar hyperbola in a GRP image is selected; second, a rebar is detected from the local minimum points in the map of Sum of Square Difference (SSD); third, an output file is created and saved, including the geographical location of each detect rebar. Finally, the proposed method is validated from field tests in a reinforced concrete bridge, and the detection accuracy is 91.1%, which is very promising.
