Abstract:Container cranes are of key importance for maritime cargo transportation. The uninterrupted and all-day operation of these container cranes, which directly affects the efficiency of the port, necessitates the continuous inspection of these massive hoisting steel structures. Due to the large size of cranes, the current manual inspections performed by expert climbers are costly, risky, and time-consuming. This motivates further investigations on automated non-destructive approaches for the remote inspection of f… Show more
