Research on Automatic Crack Detection for Concrete Infrastructures Using Image Processing and Deep Learning | Chapter 6 | Current Approaches in Science and Technology Research Vol. 3

 Automatic crack detection is a critical task in the generation of a crack map for existing concrete infrastructure inspection. This paper describes an automatic crack detection and classification method based on a genetic algorithm (GA) for optimizing image processing technique parameters (IPTs). Under various complex photometric conditions, the crack detection results of concrete infrastructure surface images remain noise pixels. Following that, a deep convolution neural network (CNN) method is used to automatically classify crack candidates and non-crack candidates. Furthermore, the proposed method is compared to state-of-the-art crack detection methods. The experimental results validate the reasonable accuracy in practice. The final goal was to create a crack map, which necessitated automatic pixel-level accuracy.
