Determination of corrosion state of reinforced concrete structures by the parameters of color change in video image

The article shows one of the factors influencing the formation of corrosion of hollow reinforced concrete structures — leakage currents in insulators. The development of corrosion depends on the amount of electricity that has passed through the reinforced concrete. A method for controlling the corrosion state by changing the color parameters on the video image of the reinforced concrete surface is proposed. A full-scale experiment is carried out on samples simulating various degrees of corrosion, as well as on a sample with an unknown level of corrosion. The images are obtained using an industrial endoscope.
