| 總結: | In the civil industry, it cannot be overstated how essential it is to have periodic building
inspections that help ensure the structural safety of buildings. However, when it comes to
conducting building facade inspections, the use of manpower can be both inefficient and costly.
Moreover, the risk of working at heights can pose a potential danger to the inspector. To add to
the complications, some internal defects cannot be identified through visual inspection, making
it challenging to ensure the safety of residents in the building.
However, with the implementation of an innovative and effective building facade inspection
method in this project, these challenges can be mitigated. The method involves the combination
of an accelerometer sensor and a remote drone. The process starts by mounting the
accelerometer sensor onto a flying drone, which is then controlled using a Raspberry Pi device.
Subsequently, the drone is remotely guided to collide onto the building facade, which in turn
collects data through the accelerometer sensor. These collected data can be used by structural
engineers to identify any internal defects in the building.
This new method offers several advantages over traditional inspection methods. Firstly, it is
more efficient and cost-effective compared to manpower-based inspections. Secondly, it
eliminates the risk of working at heights and improves overall safety. Finally, it allows for the
detection of internal defects that are unnoticeable through visual inspections, thus providing a
more comprehensive understanding of the building's structural safety. With these benefits, the
implementation of this innovative building facade inspection method will undoubtedly lead to a
more secure and safe built environment. |
