Abstract
A detection device includes: a crack detection unit to detect a deformation on a surface of a structure from image information on the structure; a step detection unit to detect a step on the surface of the structure from three-dimensional point group information on the structure measured with a laser; and a determination unit to determine a state of the deformation using information on the deformation generated by the crack detection unit and information on the step generated by the step detection unit.
