Automatic Road Crack Detection Using Random Structured Forests

Shi, Yong, Cui, Limeng, Qi, Zhiquan, Meng, Fan, Chen, Zhensong·2016·IEEE Transactions on Intelligent Transportation Systems

Abstract

Cracks are a growing threat to road conditions and have drawn much attention to the construction of intelligent transportation systems. However, as the key part of an intelligent transportation system, automatic road crack detection has been challenged because of the intense inhomogeneity along the cracks, the topology complexity of cracks, the inference of noises with similar texture to the cracks, and so on. In this paper, we propose CrackForest, a novel road crack detection framework based on random structured forests, to address these issues. Our contributions are shown as follows: 1) apply the integral channel features to redefine the tokens that constitute a crack and get better representation of the cracks with intensity inhomogeneity; 2) introduce random structured forests to generate a high-performance crack detector, which can identify arbitrarily complex cracks; and 3) propose a new crack descriptor to characterize cracks and discern them from noises effectively. In addition, our method is faster and easier to parallel. Experimental results prove the state-of-the-art detection precision of CrackForest compared with competing methods.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
