Most important topics I want to focus on the next half year

  1. Performance models for inspection planning
  2. Automated workflow for the Visualization of data quality and facility quality: edge quality map (subtopic: Workflow for defect detection: edge)
  3. Comparative analysis of sampling strategies and their interaction with geometries

Automatic Identification of Falsified Data Collected On-Site: Implications for Bridge Inspection and Construction Inspection

Erroneous data could be misleading for constructors, and could cause serious issues on construction sites.

Without a good methodology for identifying quality issues of the data, civil engineers have to accept whatever they have, and view all data with the equal importance.

However, the data have uncertainties and confidence level associated with them, hence, it would be good to have a method to automatically identify quality level of data, and visualize the uncertainty map of data sets.

This research targets this problem, possible related research: Jim Garrett Vaccum project.
