Title
DeepCrack: A deep hierarchical feature learning architecture for crack segmentation.
Abstract
Automatic crack detection from images of various scenes is a useful and challenging task in practice. In this paper, we propose a deep hierarchical convolutional neural network (CNN), called as DeepCrack, to predict pixel-wise crack segmentation in an end-to-end method. DeepCrack consists of the extended Fully Convolutional Networks (FCN) and the Deeply-Supervised Nets (DSN). During the training, the elaborately designed model learns and aggregates multi-scale and multi-level features from the low convolutional layers to the high-level convolutional layers, which is different from the standard approaches of only using the last convolutional layer. DSN provides integrated direct supervision for features of each convolutional stage. We apply both guided filtering and Conditional Random Fields (CRFs) methods to refine the final prediction results. A benchmark dataset consisting of 537 images with manual annotation maps are built to verify the effectiveness of our proposed method. Our method achieved state-of-the-art performances on the proposed dataset (mean I/U of 85.9, best F-score of 86.5, and 0.1 s per image).
