Summary
Artificial intelligence (AI) and computer vision (CV) are transforming the way we monitor, assess, and predict the durability of structures and systems. Real-time, non-contact, and non-destructive sensing technologies are opening new opportunities for intelligent diagnostics, early fault detection, and predictive maintenance across civil infrastructure, aerospace, automotive, manufacturing, and energy applications.
This special issue seeks original research articles, reviews, and case studies that highlight recent advances in AI- and CV-based sensing for structural durability and health monitoring. Topics of interest include (but are not limited to):
· AI-driven sensing methods for non-destructive evaluation (NDE)
· Computer-vision-based damage detection and anomaly recognition
· Multi-modal data fusion and intelligent feature extraction
· Real-time monitoring frameworks and digital twins
· Machine learning and deep learning for predictive maintenance
· Scalable, interpretable, and robust AI models for complex environments
