Image Analysis of Hardened Concrete Performance Enhancement of the Automated Concrete Evaluation System (ACES)

A prototype system known as Automate Concrete Evaluation (ACE) system was developed as a a fully automated machine vision system designed to perform the analysis of the air void structure of concrete according to the ASTM linear traverse method. The goal of this national pooled fund study had two objectives. The first was to develop improvements in the performance of the prototype ACE system. These improvements would provide consistent and repeatable results through the automated application of the ASTM linear traverse method to concrete samples. In addition, all inevitable conditions that could be encountered during hardened concrete analysis would be addressed. The second objective was to accurately assess the variability of the ASTM linear traverse method across the concrete evaluation industry. Accomplishment of this goal would then provide a useful metric against which the results provided by the automated system could be assessed.
