Integrating Thermographic Images in A User-Friendly Platform to Support Inspection of Railway Bridges

preventive inspection of railway bridges is a key step for an effective maintenance program. The TOSCA-FI project has developed an integrated ICT platform for easy access to a wide set of data, obtained with several imaging techniques (high definition photography, photogrammetry, 3D scanning, fluorescence LIDAR and thermography) and integrated into a 3D model of the bridge. The aim is to provide a tool to support the inspection of railway bridges, often based exclusively on the visual inspection. In this paper, we present selected results obtained on masonry bridges by using thermography and their integration in the TOSCA-FI platform.
