As the methods using UAV (unmanned aerial vehicles) are being sought in multipurpose surveillance and monitoring technologies such as saving lives, the collection of weather information, forest fire prevention, etc, active research has also been under progress in various areas. In this paper a miniature UAV was used to provide an image processing system of the structure cracks situational awareness for the safety inspection of the structure. With the structures for seasonal changes greatly depending on the time each day, the problem is a difficulty in checking for damage. Using a context-aware image processing system for the images are suspected of having cracks, it is possible to find out whether the structure gets damaged and take an immediate action if necessary. Ultimately, it could contribute to risk reduction. A context-aware crack image processing system processes the image that seems to have cracks and analyzes the data sent by a number of sensors, so as to establish an optimal condition. Then the proposed system provides an appropriate service that deals with the situation autonomously. The proposed system enables to accurately detect the defects occurring at the surface of facility and contributes to saving of time and efforts effectively.
