Live Demonstration: Hammering Test on a Wall Using AI

Infrastructure inspection involves various maintenance tasks and requires detailed diagnosis and inspection related to structural strength and seismic resistance. In inspecting defected areas that cannot be visually observed, such as the inside of a building wall, a method that detects sound changes by hammering is often used. Although this is a low-cost testing method, it requires experience in distinguishing sounds caused by defected areas. To make the hammering test easy, we have been developing a method for efficiently detecting concrete wall flacking by combining AI with hammering testing. In this demonstration, conference attendees can try hammering tests and feel difficulty distinguishing the sound of the flacking part and how AI helps us judge the problems on a wall.
