Poor road-surface conditions pose a significant safety risk to vehicle operation, especially in the case of autonomous vehicles. Hence, maintenance of road surfaces will become even more important in the future. With the development of deep learning-based computer image processing technology, artificial intelligence models that evaluate road conditions are being actively researched. However, as the lighting conditions of the road surface vary depending on the weather, the model performance may degrade for an image whose brightness falls outside the range of the learned image, even for the same road. In this study, a semantic segmentation model with an autoencoder structure was developed for detecting road surface along with a CNN-based image preprocessing model. This setup ensures better road-surface crack detection by adjusting the image brightness before it is input into the road-crack detection model. When the preprocessing model was applied, the road-crack segmentation model exhibited consistent performance even under varying brightness values.

Cracks are a potential threat to the safety and endurance of civil infrastructures, and therefore, careful and regular structural crack inspection is needed during their long-term service periods. Many image-processing approaches have been developed for structural crack detection. However, like traditional edge detection algorithms, these methods are easily disturbed by the environmental effect. Convolutional neural networks are newly developed methods and have excellent performances in the image-classification tasks. This study proposes a fully convolutional network called Ci-Net for structural crack identification. Pixel-level labeled image training data are obtained from the online data set. Four indices are adopted to evaluate the performance of the trained Ci-Net. Crack images from an indoor concrete beam test are adopted for validation of its structural crack recognition capacity. The recognition results are also compared with those obtained by the edge detection methods. It indicates that Ci-Net exhibits a better performance over the edge detection methods in structural damage detection.

Abstract An increasing number of detection methods based on computer vision are applied to detect cracks in water conservancy infrastructure. However, most studies directly use existing feature extraction networks to extract cracks information, which are proposed for open-source datasets. As the cracks distribution and pixel features are different from these data, the extracted cracks information is incomplete. In this paper, a deep learning-based network for dam surface crack detection is proposed, which mainly addresses the semantic segmentation of cracks on the dam surface. Particularly, we design a shallow encoding network to extract features of crack images based on the statistical analysis of cracks. Further, to enhance the relevance of contextual information, we introduce an attention module into the decoding network. During the training, we use the sum of Cross-Entropy and Dice Loss as the loss function to overcome data imbalance. The quantitative information of cracks is extracted by the imaging principle after using morphological algorithms to extract the morphological features of the predicted result. We built a manual annotation dataset containing 1577 images to verify the effectiveness of the proposed method. This method achieves the state-of-the-art performance on our dataset. Specifically, the precision, recall, IoU, F1_measure, and accuracy achieve 90.81%, 81.54%, 75.23%, 85.93%, 99.76%, respectively. And the quantization error of cracks is less than 4%.

Fracture Identification

A method of non-contact detection of bolt fracture have serial steps as follows: First of all the required data is obtained through image acquisition, then through the edge detection, image recognition and other image processing on the image to get the bolt fracture identification results, finally the non-contact measurement bolt fracture is realized. Experiments show that bolt crack detection method based on image processing, compared with the traditional detection methods improve the efficiency of detection and improve the detection accuracy. The method for bolt crack detection is feasible.
