Abstract:
Roads are the foundation of intelligent transportation systems (ITS), yet cracks are widely present in roads and seriously affect system performance. Cracks not repaired promptly can develop into severe road defects, significantly increasing the risk of traffic accidents. Researchers in the community have started to focus on the automatic sensing of cracks in asphalt pavements, while it is still a challenging task on concrete pavements. Cracks in the concrete pavement are easily recognized as interrupted segments rather than a continuous whole due to the interference of the surface texture. This mistake can seriously mislead the judgment of cracks and subsequent road repair. In this article, we aim to solve the challenge by enhancing contextual information about cracks within the images. We first extract the information from the local and global representations using image information and then fuse it into complete contextual information by a designed multilayer perceptron (MLP). Finally, we use the discriminative loss to constrain the edges of cracks and backgrounds using complete crack contextual information. We have collected and annotated several images of concrete pavements from several significant provinces in China. Experiments show that our method achieves the best performance compared to state-of-the-art methods, especially in edge determination.
