TLDR
An evaluation and comparison protocol which has been designed for evaluating this difficult task—the road pavement crack detection—is introduced and the proposed method is validated, analysed, and compared to a detection approach based on morphological tools.
Abstract
In the field of noninvasive sensing techniques for civil infrastructures monitoring, this paper addresses the problem of crack detection, in the surface of the French national roads, by automatic analysis of optical images. The first contribution is a state of the art of the image-processing tools applied to civil engineering. The second contribution is about fine-defect detection in pavement surface. The approach is based on a multi-scale extraction and a Markovian segmentation. Third, an evaluation and comparison protocol which has been designed for evaluating this difficult task—the road pavement crack detection—is introduced. Finally, the proposed method is validated, analysed, and compared to a detection approach based on morphological tools.

Feature Pyramid and Hierarchical Boosting Network for Pavement Crack Detection

TL;DR: Yan et al. as mentioned in this paper proposed a novel network architecture, named feature pyramid and hierarchical boosting network (FPHBN), which integrates context information to low-level features for crack detection in a feature pyramid way, and it balances the contributions of both easy and hard samples to loss by nested sample reweighting in a hierarchical way during training.

Analysis of edge-detection techniques for crack identification in bridges

TL;DR: This paper provides a comparison of the effectiveness of four crack-detection techniques: fast Haar transform (FHT), fast Fourier transform, Sobel, and Canny and shows that the FHT was significantly more reliable than the other three edge-detector techniques in identifying cracks.
