Abstract

It is crucial to detect and classify pavement cracks as part of maintaining road safety. The inspection process for identifying and classifying cracks manually is tedious, time-consuming, and potentially dangerous for inspectors. As a result, an efficient automated approach for detecting road cracks is essential for this development. Numerous issues, such as variations in intensity, uneven data availability, the inefficacy of traditional approaches, and others, make it challenging to accomplish. This research has been carried out to contribute towards developing an efficient pavement crack detection and classification system. This study uses state of the art deep learning algorithm, customized YOLOv7 model. Data from two sources, RDD2022, a publicly available online dataset, and the second set of data gathered from the roads of Malaysia have been used in this investigation. In order to have balanced data for training, many image preprocessing techniques have been applied to the data, such as augmentations, scaling, blurring, etc. Experimental results demonstrate that the detection accuracy of the YOLOv7 model is significant, 92% on the RDD2022 dataset and 88% on our custom dataset. This study reports the outcomes of experiments conducted on both datasets. RDD2022 achieved a precision of 0.9523 and a recall of 0.9545. On the custom dataset, the resulting values for precision and recall were 0.93 and 0.9158, respectively. The results of this study were compared to those of other recent studies in the same field in order toestablish a benchmark. Results from the proposed system were more encouraging and surpassed the benchmarking ones.

Abstract

The detection, classification, and characterization of pavement cracks are critical for maintaining safe road conditions. However, traditional manual inspection methods are slow, costly, and pose risks to inspectors. To address these issues, this article provides a comprehensive overview of state-of-the-art machine vision and machine learning-based techniques for pavement crack detection, classification, and characterization. The paper explores the process flow of these systems, including both machine learning and traditional methodologies. The paper focuses on popular artificial intelligence (AI) techniques like support vector machines (SVM) and neural networks. It underscores the significance of utilizing image processing methods for feature extraction in order to detect cracks. The paper also discusses significant advancements made through deep learning strategies. The main objectives of this research are to improve efficiency and effectiveness in pavement crack detection, reduce inspection costs, and enhance safety. Additionally, the article presents data gathering approaches, various datasets for developing road crack detection models, and compares different models to demonstrate their advantages and limitations. Finally, the paper identifies open challenges in the field and provides valuable insights for future research and development efforts. Overall, this paper highlights the potential of AI-based techniques to revolutionize pavement maintenance practices and significantly improve road safety.
