Abstract
Convolutional neural networks perform impressively in complicated computer-vision image-segmentation tasks. Vision-based systems surpass humans in speed and accuracy in quality inspection tasks. Moreover, the maintenance of big infrastructures, such as roads, bridges, or buildings, is tedious and time-demanding work. In this research, we addressed pavement-quality evaluation by pixelwise defect segmentation using a U-Net deep autoencoder. Additionally, to the original neural network architecture, we utilized residual connections, atrous spatial pyramid pooling with parallel and "Waterfall" connections, and attention gates to perform better defect extraction. The proposed neural network configurations showed a segmentation performance improvement over U-Net with no significant computational overhead. Statistical and visual performance evaluation was taken into consideration for the model comparison. Experiments were conducted on CrackForest, Crack500, GAPs384, and mixed datasets.
