Brick wall efflorescence detection technology using target detection illustrated by Wuhan Gao’s Hospital
Heritage buildings are vital to China’s cultural heritage, and rapid identification of efflorescent areas on their walls is crucial for restoration research. Traditional methods struggle with challenges like complex backgrounds, tiny region extraction, and image noise. Advances in artificial intelligence, particularly deep learning and Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN), offer new solutions. This study employs the YoloV10 model for efflorescent detection on building walls. Experimental results demonstrate its effectiveness in capturing efflorescent disease information, aiding in the analysis of wall efflorescence causes and the impact of meteorological parameters in regions with extreme climates. This research provides essential data and technology for the prevention and treatment of cultural relic diseases.
