<abstract>
<p>As large-scale infrastructure gradually ages, hundreds of existing bridges require regular inspections to ensure structural safety. While many researchers have proposed deterioration detection methods based on computer vision and deep learning&amp;mdash;which can detect deterioration at the image level&amp;mdash;no effective approach has yet been developed that integrates 3D reconstruction technology to achieve spatial localization and area quantification. To address this, this study proposes a two-part automated inspection workflow for the classification, localization, and measurement of internal deterioration in box-girder bridges. In the first part, the camera system is calibrated using an indoor calibration scene, and images are captured inside the box-girder. A 3D model is constructed using Structure from Motion (SfM) algorithms, and a cylindrical projection unfolded map is generated. In the second part, a boundary-aware model&amp;mdash;modified from DeepV3+&amp;mdash;is used to perform pixel-level deterioration detection and classification on the unfolded map. Experimental results demonstrate that the system can generate scale-corrected cylindrical unfolded maps from 3D models with sub-millimeter scale accuracy (0.105 mm), effectively transforming complex 3D inspection tasks into measurable and analyzable 2D images. The model achieved an overall mean Intersection over Union (mIoU) of 65.11% across five classes (four deterioration types and the background), representing a 7.54 percentage point improvement over the original DeepV3+. The research results validate the effectiveness of the proposed workflow in enhancing detection efficiency and objectivity for box-girder bridge maintenance.</p>
