Recently, in addition to traditional sketch-based surveys, numerous photographic survey techniques have emerged. Determining the shooting size in photographic surveys is the most crucial aspect; however, the size that captures cracks varies significantly not only with the width of the cracks but also with the surface color. The surface color fluctuates due to various factors such as the material of the concrete and the intensity of sunlight, but existing technologies could only determine the shooting size through theoretical calculations. As a result, there were issues such as cracks not being captured, leading to survey omissions, and low accuracy in crack width measurements. However, with the measurement technology of Shin-Kumonos using KUMONOS, it has become possible to accurately measure crack widths from a distance on-site and conduct surveys with optimal photographic sizes. This allows for the derivation of the most suitable photographic size (i.e., number of photos) in terms of cost and survey time, enabling the most effective and high-quality surveys. In crack surveys, where there are numerous factors that cannot be calculated, such as material types (e.g., aggregates), completion dates, survey timing, and the intensity of sunlight on the day, using Shin-Kumonos technology allows for the accumulation of accurate survey data.

• Other electronic measuring instruments

A 3D laser scanner is a non-prism measuring device that can obtain three-dimensional data of terrains and structures without touching the measurement target. Unlike traditional surveying instruments that measure at "single points," it can rapidly and accurately capture thousands to hundreds of thousands of data points per second, allowing for "surface" measurements of the target. It is actively used in various fields, including visualization, modeling, consideration for new construction or renovations, and maintenance management.

MMS (Mobile Mapping System) is a mobile measurement system that equips vehicles with GPS antennas, laser scanners, cameras, and other devices, allowing them to travel on public roads and highways (up to 80 km/h) without traffic restrictions while efficiently and accurately acquiring three-dimensional spatial position data and surrounding images of the road environment. It is also used in public surveying and investigations, including the creation of road ledger annex maps necessary for road maintenance management, as well as for surface condition surveys and tunnel inspections.

Baum Station is an innovative total station equipped with a unique focal mirror called "Baum," which captures objects using concentric circular scales. By aligning both ends of a structure with one of the concentric circles, it is possible to measure the center of cylindrical structures that could not be measured with crosshairs. Additionally, by utilizing the scale width, the position of the object can be offset from the crosshairs, allowing for accurate measurement of coordinates at corners or sharp tips of structures where laser light has made measurement difficult. The concentric circles also accommodate displacement, making it suitable for dynamic observation. By using a CCD camera, continuous observation records can also be maintained. Since it can accurately measure structures that were previously impossible to measure, it significantly contributes to the maintenance and management of structures.
