Description

Bridge concrete crack detection method based on deep learning under complex background
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of bridge structure detection and the technical field of neural networks, in particular to a method for detecting bridge concrete cracks under a complex background based on deep learning.
Background
Along with the development and perfection of the infrastructure and the transportation system in China, the number of bridges is rapidly increased, and more bridges gradually enter the stage of maintenance and repair. The most common damage to bridges is cracking of concrete, and more than 76% of damage to concrete bridges is caused by cracking. The cause of the crack formation is mainly the following: because the tensile strength of the concrete structure is low, the concrete structure is stressed unevenly and cracks are generated due to the fact that the concrete structure is loaded excessively for a long time; because the concrete structure is often exposed to the outside, the concrete structure is easily deformed under the influence of external temperature change and is often corroded by rainwater to cause cracks; the quality and the construction technical level of construction materials directly influence the quality and the service life of the concrete structure. The location and morphology of cracks in bridges can provide a great deal of information about internal damage, degradation and potential risk to the structure. Therefore, the detection of cracks in the concrete structure of the bridge is a very necessary and important task for the evaluation of the health status of the bridge and the subsequent maintenance and repair of the structure.
At present, the common bridge concrete crack detection method mainly comprises two types of manual detection and image vision-based detection. The manual detection mainly depends on a means of human eye observation, and detection personnel observe by means of telescope, rope, tower erection, truck and the like; but the manual detection efficiency is lower, the detection is easy to miss, and the problems of high labor cost and high safety risk exist. Based on the development of unmanned aerial vehicle technology, image acquisition is carried out on the surface of the whole bridge by using unmanned aerial vehicle carried camera equipment, then the acquired image is analyzed based on an image visual identification method, and bridge crack detection is completed.
The image vision method is high in efficiency, but is complex, and becomes an important research direction of bridge concrete cracks. In 2017, ZHANG et al established an effective architecture for a backbone Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) that could detect 3D asphalt surface cracks at the pixel level, but it did not have a polling layer. The radix astragali, qi and the like recognize the crack by adopting a gray value threshold segmentation method and combining interference rejection based on the combination of a binary image and a gray image, but are not suitable for the situation that the crack and the background are not obvious in difference. Ruan Xiaoli introduces the idea of treating the crack region as a connected region, and filtering out non-cracks according to the characteristic parameters of the cracks, so that the width of smaller cracks can be identified, but the difference of dry gray scales is still limited. In 2018, YANG et al introduced a Full Convolutional Network (FCN) to solve both the identification and measurement crack problems, but the measurement error was large. Wang Sen and the like construct a novel CrackFCN model, so that high-precision detection of cracks and error marking reduction under a more complex background are realized, but the processing efficiency is still not high enough. In 2019, zhou Ying and the like combine the crack fragment splicing and image processing methods, so that high-precision measurement of the crack width is realized, but identification of cracks in a more complex background is to be promoted.
Therefore, how to perform the segmentation recognition of the bridge concrete cracks from the complex background more quickly and accurately becomes a problem to be further researched and solved.

The method for detecting the bridge concrete cracks under the complex background based on deep learning is described in more detail below.
1. Image preprocessing
In order to better utilize the method of the invention to detect the bridge concrete cracks, the bridge crack images acquired in the bridge detection report are preferably subjected to certain screening, uniform resolution, and the like. Specifically, the bridge crack pictures with detection barriers caused by stains, shadows, graffiti, line drawing and the like can be manually screened and removed from the bridge detection report; then, for the condition that the sizes and the resolutions of the pictures are different, processing methods such as an image difference algorithm and the like can be adopted to unify the bridge crack pictures into the same resolution size.

Meanwhile, after the pretreated bridge crack pictures are subjected to effective crack region segmentation and identification, segmentation mask marking can be carried out on the crack regions, and the bridge crack pictures can be used as bridge crack sample images of a bridge crack identification and detection model and used as training samples or test verification samples.
2. Bridge crack recognition and detection model
After training, the bridge crack recognition and detection model is used for carrying out crack segmentation recognition and detection on the bridge crack image to be processed. The bridge crack recognition and detection model framework used in the method of the invention is shown in fig. 1, and mainly comprises a attention fusion feature extraction network and a shallow feature extraction network, which are respectively described in detail below.
2.1, attention fusion feature extraction network
The attention fusion feature extraction network is based on a U-Net network framework and is used for extracting a high-level semantic feature map of the bridge crack image. In practical technical implementation, the attention fusion feature extraction network is reformed based on a U-Net network framework, and the reforming mode is that a Strip Pooling module (SP) is introduced into the U-Net network to replace conventional convolution downsampling processing in a coding structure so as to collect abundant context information, so that crack information of a complex scene is explored, and misjudgment on background pixels is reduced; meanwhile, a conventional convolution block in a coding structure of a conventional U-Net network is replaced by a Multi-scale convolution attention module (Multi-Scale Convolutional Attention, abbreviated as MSCA), a relation between different channels is established while local information is aggregated, spatial attention is aroused to pay attention to crack information, interference of complex backgrounds such as line drawing, graffiti and the like is further suppressed, interaction of Multi-scale information is finally achieved, and precision of crack detection is improved.
Specifically, the structure of the attention fusion feature extraction network is based on a U-Net network architecture, and as shown in fig. 2, includes four coding layers, one bottleneck layer and four decoding layers connected in sequence.
Each coding layer comprises a multi-scale convolution attention module MSCA and a stripe pooling module SP which are cascaded; wherein the input of the coding layer is taken as the input of a multi-scale convolution attention module MSCA, the output of the multi-scale convolution attention module MSCA in the coding layer is taken as the input of a banding pooling module, and the output of the banding pooling module SP is taken as the output of the coding layer.
Each decoding layer comprises two cascaded convolution layers Conv and a convolution up-sampling module UC; wherein, the input of the decoding layer is taken as the input of a first convolution layer Conv1, the output of the first convolution layer Conv1 is taken as the input of a second convolution layer Conv2, the output of the second convolution layer Conv2 is taken as the input of a convolution up-sampling module UC, and the output of the convolution up-sampling module UC is taken as the output of the decoding layer.
The bottleneck layer comprises two concatenated convolutional layers Conv.
As shown in fig. 2, the bridge crack image input to the attention fusion feature extraction network serves as the input of the first encoding layer; the output of each coding layer serves as the input of the next layer it connects in the attention fusion feature extraction network; the output of the fourth coding layer is used as the input of the bottleneck layer, and after convolution up-sampling, the output of the bottleneck layer is spliced with the output of the multi-scale convolution attention module in the fourth coding layer to be used as the input of the fourth decoding layer; the input of each decoding layer is a splice diagram of the output of a multi-scale convolution attention module in a corresponding encoding layer and the output of the decoding layer at the upper layer in the attention fusion characteristic extraction network; the output of the first decoding layer serves as the overall output of the attention fusion feature extraction network.
The processing procedure of the multi-scale convolution attention module MSCA is shown in fig. 3, specifically: after 5×5 depth convolution is performed on the input feature map, branch depth stripe convolution of two branches is performed on the depth convolution map respectively, wherein one branch performs 1×7 and 7×1 stripe convolution, and the other branch performs 1×11 and 1×11 stripe convolution; after two different scale feature images obtained by the strip convolution processing of the two branches are spliced with the depth convolution image, a multichannel feature image is obtained by convolution calculation with a convolution kernel of 1; and finally, multiplying the multichannel characteristic diagram with the input characteristic diagram to obtain an attention characteristic diagram serving as output.
Stacking of conventional convolution blocks does not enable the network to focus on more crack pixels. Firstly, the multi-scale convolution attention module MSCA can arouse the spatial attention through simple element multiplication, so that the attention of a network to cracks is increased, the extraction of useless information is reduced, and the interference of background information in a picture is effectively restrained. In addition, the multi-scale convolution attention module comprises deep convolution branches, which can aggregate local feature information of the crack, and can still extract abstract features of the crack under the condition that the image background is complex and has shielding, so that the feature extraction capability of the coding structure is enhanced. Secondly, the lightweight banded convolution is beneficial to extracting the characteristics of the banded object while reducing the calculation cost, namely, the banded convolution is suitable for detecting cracks. Therefore, the invention replaces the standard convolution blocks in the coding structure of the U-Net network with the multi-scale convolution attention module MSCA to enhance the crack characteristics.
The processing procedure of the strip pooling module SP is shown in fig. 4, specifically: respectively carrying out pixel width banding pooling treatment and pixel height banding pooling treatment on the input feature map to respectively obtain a pixel width pooling feature map with the size of 1 XW and a pixel height pooling feature map with the size of H X1, wherein H, W is the pixel height and the pixel width of the input feature map; then, the pixel width pooling feature images are subjected to one-dimensional convolution expansion operation to obtain pixel width-based expansion feature images with the size of H multiplied by W, the pixel height pooling feature images are subjected to one-dimensional convolution expansion operation to obtain pixel height-based expansion feature images with the size of H multiplied by W, the two expansion feature images are subjected to superposition fusion, and then a convolution operation with the convolution kernel of 1 and a Sigmoid activation function operation are sequentially carried out to obtain an activation feature image; and finally, multiplying the activated feature map with the input feature map to obtain a pooled downsampling feature map serving as output.
The area occupied by the crack in the whole picture is smaller, and the crack has the characteristics of long and thin; moreover, considering that the common downsampling limits the context information of the crack, the problem that the background contains obstacles such as line drawing, graffiti and the like cannot be well solved. Based on the consideration of the factors, the invention introduces the strip pooling module SP into the coding structure to better capture the local context information, thereby reducing the misjudgment of background pixels.
The processing process of the attention fusion characteristic extraction network on the input bridge crack image is as follows: after being processed by a multi-scale convolution attention module MSCA and a strip pooling module SP in a first coding layer, a second coding layer, a third coding layer and a fourth coding layer in sequence, the bridge crack image enters a bottleneck layer to be subjected to two-layer convolution processing and then is subjected to up-sampling, then is subjected to convolution and up-sampling processing in a fourth decoding layer, a third decoding layer, a second decoding layer and a first decoding layer in sequence, in the decoding process, an up-sampling image of the upper layer is spliced with a characteristic image output by the multi-scale convolution attention module in one coding layer corresponding to the decoding layer, and then is input to the decoding layer to be processed, and finally, a high-layer semantic characteristic image of the output bridge crack image is obtained.
In the processing process of the attention fusion feature extraction network on the bridge crack image, a multi-scale convolution attention module MSCA and a banding pooling module SP of four coding layers are adopted in the coding stage for processing, resolution is continuously reduced through banding pooling of four layers to obtain image information of different scales, crack feature information in the bridge crack image gradually changes from information such as points, lines, gradients and the like in bottom layer information to outline in elevation information and more abstract semantic information, and the whole network completes extraction and combination of 'from thin to thick' features, so that high-level semantic feature information extracted from the bridge crack image is more comprehensive; on the other hand, in the next decoding stage, if the image is not sensitive to detail information in the process of simply passing through up-sampling from low resolution to high resolution, after the up-sampling image of the upper layer is spliced with the feature image output by the multi-scale convolution attention module in one coding layer corresponding to the decoding layer, the processing of the decoding layer is executed, and the information such as accurate gradient, point, line and the like extracted from the coding layer with the same layer height is directly transferred to the decoding layer of the same layer, which is equivalent to adding detail information in the general area of the crack judgment target, so that the attention fusion feature extraction network can obtain more accurate crack segmentation recognition results.
2.2 shallow feature extraction network
The attention fusion feature extraction network is mainly used for extracting high-level semantic features related to cracks in bridge crack images, and the high-level semantic background information can improve the detection performance of a larger structure, but when the crack boundaries are processed, the problems of loss or discontinuity can occur, and shadows and stains are easily misjudged as cracks. The more the shallow layer features stored in the bridge crack image can embody the detail information of the crack, the more the detail information contains rich position information and contour information, so that the shallow layer features of the crack are extracted by considering the establishment of a shallow layer branch, and the position and contour information of the crack are obtained so as to more accurately position the crack.
Specifically, the structure of the shallow feature extraction network is shown in fig. 5, and includes two multi-scale convolution attention modules, a strip pooling module and a transducer module. The multi-scale convolution attention module MSCA and the stripe pooling module SP are the same as described above; the transducer module is also a mature and common network module unit in the field, and will not be described in detail here.
The bridge crack image input to the shallow feature extraction network is respectively used as the input of a first multi-scale convolution attention module MSCA1 and a transform module, the output of the first multi-scale convolution attention module MSCA1 is used as the input of a strip pooling module SP, the output of the strip pooling module SP is overlapped with the output of the transform module to be used as the input of a second multi-scale convolution attention module MSCA2, and the output of the second multi-scale convolution attention module MSCA2 is used as the integral output of the shallow feature extraction network.
