ArXi:2606.03084v1 Announce Type: new The deployment of data-driven computer vision models for structural health monitoring (SHM) is heavily constrained by the data silo dilemma due to stringent privacy and security regulations. While federated learning (FL) offers a privacy-preserving collaborative alternative, its application to nationwide infrastructure networks is severely hindered by the challenge of ``double heterogeneity'': macro-level physical divergence across disparate structural types and micro-level statistical imbalances within local datasets.
