A young team from PolyU (1 postdoctoral, 3 PhD students, and 1 MPhil student from the Hong Kong Branch of the National Rail Transit Electrification and Automation Engineering Technology Research Center, CNERC-Rail) won the First Prize at the 2nd International Competition for Structural Health Monitoring (IC-SHM, 2021). Their supervisor is Prof. Yi-qing NI, Director of CNERC-Rail. The organization received 53 submissions from 12 regions. The group participated in Project 3: Computer vision-based vibration measurement and damage assessment.
The competition is organized by the Asia-Pacific Network of Centers for Research in Smart Structures Technology (ANCRiSST), University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, Harbin Institute of Technology, Zhejiang University/University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign Institute
(ZJU-UIUC Institute), and the University of Houston. A new competition is launched this year to further extend the frontiers of computer vision-based civil infrastructure inspection and monitoring.
