Showcase: Deep Learning based Automated Pavement Crack Detection

1. Pavement Image Data Set for Deep Learning: A Synthetic Approach This research aims to explore the viability of using synthetic pavement image data to train convolutional neural networks (CNNs) for automated pavement crack detection. A procedural approach of generating synthetic pavement crack image data is proposed. The results indicate that training a crack detection Read More…

Three-Dimensional Segmentation of Air-Void System in Hardened Concrete Using Photometric Stereo and Artificial Intelligence Methods

To assure the frost resistance of conventional concretes, it is necessary to quantify its air void structure. The most widely used method for measuring air void parameters in hardened concretes are the microscopy-based methods outlined in ASTM C457/457M-16. This standard sets out three test procedures to perform microscopical determinations of the air content of hardened Read More…
