Many recent studies on deep learning-based road crack detection have shown significantly more improved performances than previous works using algorithm-based conventional approaches. However, many deep learning-based studies are still focused on classifying the types of cracks. The classification of crack types is highly anticipated in that it can improve the crack detection process, which is currently relying on manual intervention. However, it is essential to calculate the severity of the cracks as well as identifying the type of cracks in actual pavement maintenance planning, but studies related to road crack detection have not progressed enough to automated calculation of the severity of cracks. In order to calculate the severity of the crack, the type of crack and the area of the crack in the image must be identified together. This study deals with a method of using Mobilenet-SSD that is deep learning-based object detection techniques to effectively automate the simultaneous detection of crack types and crack areas. To improve the accuracy of object-detection for road cracks, several experiments were conducted to combine the U-Net for automatic segmentation of input image and object-detection model, and the results were summarized. As a result, image masking with U-Net is able to maximize object-detection performance with 0.9315 mAP value. While referring the results of this study, it is expected that the automation of the crack detection functionality on pave management system can be further enhanced.

This paper proposes a new methodology to recognize cracks on asphalt road surfaces using the image data obtained with drones. The target section was Yuseong-daero, the main highway of Daejeon. Furthermore, two object detection algorithms, such as Tiny-YOLO-V2 and Faster-RCNN, were used to recognize cracks on road surfaces, classify the crack types, and compare the experimental results. As a result, mean average precision of Faster-RCNN and Tiny-YOLO-V2 was 71% and 33%, respectively. The Faster-RCNN algorithm, 2Stage Detection, showed better performance in identifying and separating road surface cracks than the Yolo algorithm, 1Stage Detection. In the future, it will be possible to prepare a plan for building an infrastructure asset-management system using drones and AI crack detection systems. An efficient and economical road-maintenance decision-support system will be established and an operating environment will be produced.

Conventional crack detection methods have a problem of consuming a lot of labor, time and cost. To solve these problems, an automatic detection system is needed to detect cracks in images obtained by using vehicles or UAVs(unmanned aerial vehicles). In this paper, we have studied road crack detection with unmanned aerial photographs. Aerial images are generated through preprocessing and labeling to generate morphological information data sets of cracks. The generated data set was applied to the mask R-CNN model to obtain a new model in which various crack information was learned. Experimental results show that the cracks in the proposed aerial image were detected with an accuracy of 73.5% and some of them were predicted in a certain type of crack region.

Cracks in asphalt pavement occur due to changes in weather or impact from vehicles, and if cracks are left unattended, the life of the pavement may be shortened, and various accidents may occur. Therefore, studies have been conducted to detect cracks through images in order to quickly detect cracks in the asphalt pavement automatically and perform maintenance activity. Recent studies adopt machine-learning models for detecting cracks in asphalt road pavement using a Convolutional Neural Network. However, their practical use is limited because they require high-performance computing power. Therefore, this paper proposes a framework for detecting cracks in asphalt road pavement by applying a small deep learning model applicable to mobile devices. The small deep learning model proposed through the case study was compared with general deep learning models, and although it was a model with relatively few parameters, it showed similar performance to general deep learning models. The developed model is expected to be embedded and used in mobile devices or IoT for crack detection in asphalt pavement.

Cracks on the asphalt road surface can affect the speed of the car, the consumption of fuel, the ride quality of the road, and the durability of the road surface. Such cracks in roads can lead to very dangerous consequences for long periods of time. To prevent such risks, it is necessary to identify cracks and take appropriate action. It takes too much time and money to do it. Also, it is difficult to use expensive laser equipment vehicles for initial cost and equipment operation. In this paper, we propose an effective detection method of road surface defect using ROI (Region of Interest) setting and cany edge detection method using UAV image. The results of this study can be presented as efficient method for road surface flaw detection and maintenance using UAV. In addition, it can be used to detect cracks such as various buildings and civil engineering structures such as buildings, outer walls, large-scale storage tanks other than roads, and cost reduction effect can be expected.

Machine vision algorithms, which are composed of noise elimination algorithm, crack detection and mapping algorithm, and path planning algorithm, are required for sealing crack networks effectively and automation of crack sealing.. Noise elimination algorithm is the first step so that computer take cognizance of cracks effectively. Noises should be removed because common road includes a lot of noises(mark of oil, tire, traffic lane, and sealed crack) that make it difficult the computer to acknowledge cracks accurately. The objective of this paper is to propose noise elimination algorithm, prove the efficiency of the algorithm through coding. The result of the coding is represented in this paper as well.

A Convolution Neural Network(CNN) model was utilized to detect surface cracks in asphalt concrete pavements. The CNN used for this study consists of five layers with 3×3 convolution filter and 2×2 pooling kernel. Pavement surface crack images collected by automated road surveying equipment was used for the training and testing of the CNN. The performance of the CNN was evaluated using the accuracy, precision, recall, missing rate, and over rate of the surface crack detection. The CNN trained with the largest amount of data shows more than 96.6% of the accuracy, precision, and recall as well as less than 3.4% of the missing rate and the over rate.

With the development of global automotive technology and the expansion of market size, demand for vehicles is increasing, which is leading to a decrease in the number of passengers on the road and an increase in the number of vehicles on the road. This causes traffic jams, and in order to solve these problems, the number of illegal vehicles continues to increase. Various technologies are being studied to crack down on these illegal activities. Previously developed systems use trigger equipment to recognize vehicles and photograph vehicles using infrared cameras to detect the number of passengers on board. In this paper, we propose a vehicle occupant detection system with deep learning model techniques without exploiting existing system-applied trigger equipment. The proposed technique proposes a system to detect vehicles by establishing triggers within images and to apply deep learning object recognition models to detect real-time boarding personnel.

Currently, the demand for vehicles from one family is increasing in many countries at home and abroad, reducing the number of people on the vehicle and increasing the number of vehicles on the road. The multi-passenger lane system, which is available to solve the problem of traffic congestion, is being implemented. The system allows police to monitor fast-moving vehicles with their own eyes to crack down on illegal vehicles, which is less accurate and accompanied by the risk of accidents. To address these problems, applying deep learning object recognition techniques using images from road sites will solve the aforementioned problems. Therefore, in this paper, we compare and analyze the performance of existing deep learning models, select a deep learning model that can identify real-time vehicle occupants through video, and propose a vehicle occupancy detection algorithm that complements the object-ident model's problems.
