Optical imaging is a commonly used technique in civil engineering for aiding the archival of damage scenes and more recently for\nimage analysis-based damage quantification. However, the limitations are evident when applying optical imaging in the field.The\nmost significant one is the lacking of computing and processing capability in the real time.The advancement ofmobile imaging and\ncomputing technologies provides a promising opportunity to change this norm. This paper first provides a timely introduction of\nthe state-of-the-art mobile imaging and computing technologies for the purpose of engineering application development. Further\nwe propose a mobile imaging and computing (MIC) framework for conducting intelligent condition assessment for constructed\nobjects, which features in situ imaging and real-time damage analysis. This framework synthesizes advanced mobile technologies\nwith three innovative features: (i) context-enabled image collection, (ii) interactive image preprocessing, and (iii) real-time image\nanalysis and analytics.Through performance evaluation and field experiments, this paper demonstrates the feasibility and efficiency\nof the proposed framework
