• Abstract: This paper presents the development of a documented program capable of solving idealized beam models, such as those commonly used in textbooks and academic exercises, from drawings made by a person. The system is based on computer vision and statistical learning techniques for the detection and visual interpretation of structural elements. Likewise, the main challenges and limitations associated with the integration of computer vision into structural analysis are analyzed, as well as the requirements necessary for its reliable application in the field of civil engineering. In this context, the implementation of the PhotoBeamSolver program is explored, and the current state of computer vision in civil engineering is discussed, particularly in relation to structural analysis, infrastructure inspection, and engineering decision-support systems.

  Vision systems to see and reason about the compositional nature of visual scenes are fundamental to understanding our world. The models learned to bridge the gap between such modalities coupled with large-scale training data facilitate contextual reasoning, generalization, and prompt capabilities at test time. The output of such models can be modified through human-provided prompts without retraining, e.g., segmenting a particular object by providing a bounding box, having interactive dialogues by asking questions about an image or video scene or manipulating the robot's behavior through language instructions.
