ABSTRACT

In this paper, we propose a data augmentation method based on CNN(Convolutional Neural Network) learning for efficiently obtaining concrete crack image datasets. Real concrete crack images are not only difficult to obtain due to their unstructured shape and complex patterns, but also may be exposed to dangerous situations when acquiring data. In this paper, we solve the problem of collecting datasets exposed to such situations efficiently in terms of cost and time by using vector and thickness-based data augmentation techniques. To demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method, experiments were conducted in various scenes using U-Net-based crack detection, and the performance was improved in all scenes when measured by IoU accuracy. When the concrete crack data was not augmented, the percentage of incorrect predictions was about 25%, but when the data was augmented by our method, the percentage of incorrect predictions was reduced to 3%.
