• Abstract summary: The detection of cracks is a crucial task in monitoring structural health and ensuring structural safety. Several researchers have tried tackling this problem using traditional Image Processing or learning-based techniques. The metrics used to evaluate these methods are also varied across the literature, making it challenging to compare techniques. This paper addresses these problems by combining previously available datasets and unifying the annotations.

• Abstract: The detection of cracks is a crucial task in monitoring structural health and ensuring structural safety. The manual process of crack detection is time-consuming and subjective to the inspectors. Several researchers have tried tackling this problem using traditional Image Processing or learning-based techniques. However, their scope of work is limited to detecting cracks on a single type of surface (walls, pavements, glass, etc.). The metrics used to evaluate these methods are also varied across the literature, making it challenging to compare techniques. This paper addresses these problems by combining previously available datasets and unifying the annotations by tackling the inherent problems within each dataset, such as noise and distortions. We also present a pipeline that combines Image Processing and Deep Learning models. Finally, we benchmark the results of proposed models on these metrics on our new dataset and compare them with state-of-the-art models in the literature.

  We propose a staircase cascaded fusion crack segmentation network (CrackSCF) that generates high-quality crack segmentation maps using minimal computational resources. We constructed a staircase cascaded fusion module that effectively captures local patterns of cracks and long-range dependencies of pixels. To reduce the computational resources required by the model, we introduced a lightweight convolution block, which replaces all convolution operations in the network.

Our method leverages an appearance-agnostic cue to guide the decoder in identifying defects, thereby alleviating its reliance on synthetic appearance. Under the simple synthesis strategies, it outperforms existing methods by a large margin. Furthermore, it also achieves the state-of-the-art localization performance.

Overall, the U-Net model with VGG-16 as backbone has the best all-around performance, but models generally fail to distinguish cracks from concrete joints.
