Abstract: | In order to avoid possible failures and prevent damage in civil infrastructures, such as tunnels and bridges, inspection should be done on a regular basis. Cracks are one of the earliest indications of degradation, hence, their detection allows preventive measures to be taken to avoid further damage. In this paper, we demonstrate that Mask R-CNN can be used to localize cracks on concrete surfaces and obtain their corresponding masks to aid extract other properties that are useful for inspection. Such a tool can help mitigate the drawbacks of manual inspection by automating crack detection, lowering time consumption in executing this task, reducing costs and increasing the safety of the personnel. To train Mask R-CNN for crack detection we built a groundtruth database of masks on images from a subset of a standard crack dataset. Tests on the trained model achieved a precision value of 93.94% and a recall of 77.5%. |
