A deep learning approach to crack detection on road surfaces

Currently, modern achievements in the field of deep learning are increasingly being applied in practice. One of the practical uses of deep learning is to detect cracks on the surface of the roadway. The destruction of the roadway is the result of various factors: for example, the use of low-quality material, non-compliance with the standards of laying asphalt, external physical impact, etc. Detection of these damages in automatic mode with high speed and accuracy is an important and complex task. An effective solution to this problem can reduce the time of services that carry out the detection of damage and also increase the safety of road users. The main challenge for automatically detecting such damage, in most cases, is the complex structure of the roadway. To accurately detect this damage, we use U-Net. After that we improve the binary map with localized cracks from the U-Net neural network, using the morphological filtering. This solution allows localizing cracks with higher accuracy in comparison with traditional methods crack detection, as well as modern methods of deep learning. All experiments were performed using the publicly available CRACK500 dataset with examples of cracks and their binary maps

Automated visual inspection algorithm for the reflection detection and removing in image sequences

Specular reflections are undesirable phenomena that can impair overall perception and subsequent image analysis. In this paper, we propose a modern solution to this problem, based on the latest achievements in this field. The proposed method includes three main steps: image enhancement, detection of specular reflections, and reconstruction of damaged areas. To enhance and equalize the brightness characteristics of the image, we use the alpha-rooting method with an adaptive choice of the optimal parameter alpha. To detect specular reflections, we apply morphological filtering in the HSV color space. At the final stage, there is a reconstruction of damaged areas using adversarial neural networks. This combination makes it possible to quickly and effectively detect and remove specular reflections, which is confirmed by a series of experiments given by the experimental section of this work

Defect detection on videos using neural network

In this paper, we consider a method for defects detection in a video sequence, which consists of three main steps; frame compensation, preprocessing by a detector, which is base on the ranking of pixel values, and the classification of all pixels having anomalous values using convolutional neural networks. The effectiveness of the proposed method shown in comparison with the known techniques on several frames of the video sequence with damaged in natural conditions. The analysis of the obtained results indicates the high efficiency of the proposed method. The additional use of machine learning as postprocessing significantly reduce the likelihood of false alarm

Restoration of the Lost Map Area of the Underlying Image Surface Using the Reconstruction Method

The article presents a method for recovering lost sections of the map of the underlying surface. We consider spatial autocorrelation as image pre-processing for its subsequent analysis when restoring a part of the map in the direction of the radar carrier course. An algorithm for recovering images of lost areas has been proposed and a software implementing the algorithm has been developed. The efficiency of the developed algorithm has been evaluated on a test set of images using a statistical criterion

Modified Depth-Map Inpainting Method Using the Neural Network

This paper proposes a method for reconstructing a depth map obtained using a stereo pair image. The proposed approach is based on a geometric model for the synthesis of patches. The entire image is preliminarily divided into blocks of different size, where large blocks are used to restore homogeneous areas, and small blocks are used to restore details of the image structure. Lost pixels are recovered by copying the pixel values from the source based on the similarity criterion. We used a trained neural network to select the “best like” patch. Experimental results show that the proposed method gives better results than other modern methods, both in subjective and objective measurements for reconstructing a depth map
