Faced with aging and population decline, streamlining labor-intensive visual inspections is essential. This study explored the use of AI for extracting deformations in civil structures within Shinkansen track areas and developed equipment for continuous image capturing. Results showed that AI models trained on images taken under specific conditions could extract deformations with reasonable accuracy. Additionally, the newly developed equipment successfully captured images continuously and func-tioned effectively during tests on operational Shinkansen lines, enabling efficient data acquisition.
