• Abstract: Due to the varying intensity of pavement cracks, the complexity of topological structure, and the noise of texture background, image classification for asphalt pavement cracking has proven to be a challenging problem. Fatigue cracking, also known as alligator cracking, is one of the common distresses of asphalt pavement. It is thus important to detect and monitor the condition of alligator cracking on roadway pavements. Most research in this area has typically focused on pixel-level detection of cracking using limited datasets. A novel deep convolutional neural network that can achieve two objectives is proposed. The first objective of the proposed neural network is to classify presence of fatigue cracking based on pavement surface images. The second objective is to classify the fatigue cracking severity level based on the Distress Identification Manual (DIM) standard. In this paper, a databank of 4484 high-resolution pavement surface images is established in which images are taken locally in the Town of Blacksburg, Virginia, USA. In the data pre-preparation, over 4000 images are labeled into 4 categories manually according to DIM standards. A four-layer convolutional neural network model is then built to achieve the goal of classification of images by pavement crack severity category. The trained model reached the highest accuracy among all existing methods. After only 30 epochs of training, the model achieved a crack existence classification accuracy of 96.23% and a severity level classification accuracy of 96.74%. After 20 epochs of training, the model achieved a pavement marking presence classification accuracy of 97.64%.

  Banding, also known as staircase-like contours, frequently occurs in flat areas of images/videos processed by the compression or quantization algorithms. We build the largest banding IQA database so far, named Banding Artifact Noticeable Database (BAND-2k), which consists of 2,000 banding images. A dual convolutional neural network is employed to concurrently learn the feature representation from the high-frequency and low-frequency maps.
