Efficient and reliable structural health monitoring is essential for ensuring the safety and extending the service life of steel structures. Owing to the advantages of non-contact nature, high efficiency, and a high degree of automation, computer vision (CV) has gradually become an important technology for the inspection and maintenance of steel structures. Focusing on surface cracks and corrosion damage of steel structures, this review systematically summarizes the recent research progress in CV-based damage detection and outlines the major approaches, including image classification, object detection, and image segmentation. Particular attention is paid to key optimization strategies for small object detection, robustness under complex backgrounds, few-shot learning, and on-site deployment. Existing studies indicate that CV has significantly improved the automation, intelligence, and precision of damage detection for steel structures. However, further advances are still required in dataset standardization, model robustness to interference, generalization capability across scenarios, and lightweight real-time inference.
