Road Pavement Crack Detection Using Deep Learning with Synthetic Data

Robust automatic pavement crack detection is critical to automated road condition evaluation. Manual crack detection is extremely time-consuming. Therefore, an automatic road crack detection method is required to boost this process. This study makes literature review of detection issues of road pavement's distress. The paper considers the existing datasets for detection and segmentation distress of road and asphalt pavement. The work presented in this article focuses on deep learning approach based on synthetic training data generation for segmentation of cracks in the driver-view image. A synthetic dataset generation method is presented, and effectiveness of its applicability to the current problem is evaluated. The relevance of the study is emphasized by research on pixel-level automatic damage detection remains a challenging problem, due to heterogeneous pixel intensity, complex crack topology, poor illumination condition, and noisy texture background

Road pavement crack detection using deep learning with synthetic data

The improvement of road system quality is a critical task. The mechanism to address such important issue is close monitoring of road pavement condition. Traditional approach requires manual identification of damages. Taking into account considerable length of road system it is essential to create an effective automatic pavement defects detection tool. This approach will extremely reduce time for monitoring of current road state. In this paper global experience in solution of detection issues of road pavement's distress is reviewed. The article includes information about the existing datasets of road defects, which are commonly used for detection and segmentation. The present work is based on deep learning approach with the use of synthetic generated training data for segmentation of cracks in driver-view image. The novelty of the approach lies in creating synthetic dataset for training state-of-the-art deep learning frameworks. The relevance of the research is emphasized by processing of wide-view images in which heterogeneous pixel intensity, complex crack topology, different illumination condition and complexity of background make the task challenging
