GithubSingTown Technology's intelligent camera solution based on OpenMV focuses on rapid detection of cracks on pier surfaces. The system utilizes AI and computer vision for image recognition, extracting crack features from collected pier images and performing binary classification to output clear results of "crack detected / no crack detected." It is suitable for initial screening during inspections, routine monitoring, and early warning scenarios in large-scale deployments.

In the daily inspection of bridges, one of the most fundamental and critical tasks is determining whether cracks appear on the surface of the piers. SingTown Technology's intelligent camera solution, based on the OpenMV platform, focuses on achieving the single judgment task of "crack presence." With the goal of minimizing false positives and false negatives as much as possible, it provides stable and reliable visual screening capabilities.
The system captures local or overall images of the pier surface through high-resolution image acquisition, employs machine vision and image recognition algorithms for preprocessing (denoising, enhancement, contrast stretching), and extracts edge and texture features. A trained lightweight AI model determines whether linear or branching patterns matching crack characteristics exist in the images, ultimately outputting a binary classification result of "crack detected" or "no crack detected.
To enhance the robustness of detection, the algorithm incorporates artifact filtering logic, which can eliminate interference caused by shadows, stains, and light peeling, ensuring stable performance under varying lighting conditions and shooting angles. The OpenMV smart camera features low power consumption and edge deployment capabilities, allowing for long-term fixed installation on bridge piers, inspection robots, or drone-mounted platforms. It supports scheduled or triggered shooting and performs local AI-based detection on the device, reducing reliance on network connectivity while safeguarding data security.
The system's single crack detection is suitable as the first screening step in the inspection chain: once a suspected crack is identified, it can trigger manual re-inspection or a more precise crack measurement process.
SingTown dey apply machine vision and AI technology for dis fundamental safety inspection, we dey aim to use simple and reliable embedded vision technology to reduce cost, improve inspection efficiency, and identify potential structural risk early, so we fit provide efficient visual front-end support for bridge safety management.
