<abstract>
<p>In order to determine the necessary actions such as rehabilitation, repair and etc. required for maintaining the operating status of aging bridges, the current conditions of these structures need to be assessed. Terrestrial laser scanners that are used to capture texture-mapped point clouds have been frequently used for assessing the current conditions of these structures. Authors’ have already developed surface damage detection algorithms in their previous work. The developed algorithms are capable of detecting several damage types from the collected texture-mapped point clouds. This short paper focuses on presenting the field application of a recently developed prototype software application that uses the previously developed surface damage detection algorithms. Capabilities of the prototype software application can be listed as importing point clouds, working with images, extracting damage features such as shape and size, determining condition ratings and producing damage reports for future investigations.</p>
