Introduction: Image processing technology is widely used for crack detection. This technology is to build a data acquisition system and use computer vision technology for image analysis. Because of its simplicity in the processing, many of the image processing detection methods were proposed. It is relatively easy to deploy and has low cost. Method: The heterogeneity of the external light usually changes the authenticity of each target in the image, which will seriously cause the experiment to fail. At this time, the image needs to be processed by the gamma transform.Based on the analysis of the characteristics of the image of the mine car baffle, this paper improves the Gamma transform, and uses the improved Gamma transform to enhance the image. Result: We can conclude that the algorithm in this paper can accurately detect crack areas with an actual width greater than 1.2 mm, and the error between the detected crack length and the actual length is between (-2, 2) mm. In practice, this error is completely acceptable. Discussion: To compare the performance of a new crack detection method with existing methods, are used. The two most well-known traditional methods, Canny and Sobel edge detection, are selected. Although the Sobel edge detection provides some crack information. The texture of the surface of the mine cart baffle detected has caused great interference to the crack identification. Conclusion: If the cracks appearing on the mine car baffle are not found in time, they often cause accidents. Therefore, effective crack detection must be performed. If manual inspection is adopted for crack detection, it will be labor-intensive and easy to miss inspection. In order to reduce the labor of crack detection of mine cars and improve the accuracy of detection, this paper, based on the detection platform built, performs preprocessing, image enhancement, and convolution operations on the collected crack images of the mine car baffle.

Crack is the early expression form of the concrete pavement disease. Early discovery and treatment of it can play an important role in the maintenance of the pavement. With ongoing advancements in computer hardware technology, continual optimization of deep learning algorithms, as compared to standard digital image processing algorithms, utilizing automation of crack detection technology has a deep learning algorithm that is more exact. As a result of the benefits of greater robustness, the study of concrete pavement crack picture has become popular. In view of the poor effect and weak generalization ability of traditional image processing technology on image segmentation of concrete cracks, this paper studies the image segmentation algorithm of concrete cracks based on convolutional neural network and designs an end-to-end segmentation model based on ResNet101. It integrates more low-level features, which make the fracture segmentation results more refined and closer to the practical application scenarios. Compared with other methods, the algorithm in this paper has achieved higher detection accuracy and generalization ability.

Imaging devices of less than 300,000 pixels are mostly used for sewage conduit exploration due to the petty nature of the survey industry in Korea. Particularly, devices of less than 100,000 pixels are still widely used, and the environment for image processing is very dim. Since the sewage conduit images covered in this study have a very low resolution (240 × 320 = 76,800 pixels), it is very difficult to detect cracks. Because most of the resolutions of the sewer conduit images are very low in Korea, this problem of low resolution was selected as the subject of this study. Cracks were detected through a total of six steps of improving the crack in Step 2, finding the optimal threshold value in Step 3, and applying an algorithm to detect cracks in Step 5. Cracks were effectively detected by the optimal parameters in Steps 2 and 3 and the user algorithm in Step 5. Despite the very low resolution, the cracked images showed a 96.4% accuracy of detection, and the non-cracked images showed 94.5% accuracy. Moreover, the analysis was excellent in quality. It is believed that the findings of this study can be effectively used for crack detection with low-resolution images.

This paper compares the crack detection performance (in terms of precision and computational cost) of the YOLO_v2 using 11 feature extractors, which provides a base for realizing fast and accurate crack detection on concrete structures. Cracks on concrete structures are an important indicator for assessing their durability and safety, and real-time crack detection is an essential task in structural maintenance. The object detection algorithm, especially the YOLO series network, has significant potential in crack detection, while the feature extractor is the most important component of the YOLO_v2. Hence, this paper employs 11 well-known CNN models as the feature extractor of the YOLO_v2 for crack detection. The results confirm that a different feature extractor model of the YOLO_v2 network leads to a different detection result, among which the AP value is 0.89, 0, and 0 for ‘resnet18’, ‘alexnet’, and ‘vgg16’, respectively meanwhile, the ‘googlenet’ (AP = 0.84) and ‘mobilenetv2’ (AP = 0.87) also demonstrate comparable AP values. In terms of computing speed, the ‘alexnet’ takes the least computational time, the ‘squeezenet’ and ‘resnet18’ are ranked second and third respectively; therefore, the ‘resnet18’ is the best feature extractor model in terms of precision and computational cost. Additionally, through the parametric study (influence on detection results of the training epoch, feature extraction layer, and testing image size), the associated parameters indeed have an impact on the detection results. It is demonstrated that: excellent crack detection results can be achieved by the YOLO_v2 detector, in which an appropriate feature extractor model, training epoch, feature extraction layer, and testing image size play an important role.

Structural health monitoring (SHM) is a new technology that has been increasingly evaluated by the industry as a potential approach to improve the cost and ease of structural inspection. Piezoelectric smart active layer (SAL) sensor was fabricated to verify the applicability of finding cracks and conducting source location in a various materials. A crack detection and source location works were done in three kinds of test condition such as aluminum plates with crack for patch type SAL sensor, a smart airplane with embedding SAL sensor, and a concrete beam with real crack for practical application. From this experimental study, the evaluation algorithm for the arrival time delay and decrease of signal amplitude was suggested in this paper. Consequently, it was found that the SAL sensor and detection algorithm developed in this study can be effectively used to detect and monitor damages in the both existing structures and new designed smart structures.
