Pavement Crack Detection Deep Learning Module Not Picking Up Obvious Cracks

Katherine_Rudzki — Wed, 17 Jul 2024 20:29:19 GMT

Hello, I'm new to using Deep Learning tools in ArcGIS Pro. The model I used was "Pavement Crack Detection".

I used drone imagery with less than 2cm resolution. I tried different iterations, like zooming in closer, setting a threshold, and setting some different environments. All of them returned the same lines. Is there a reason that it isn't picking up the areas circled in red below?

Thank you!

@Katherine_Rudzki I've shared this issue with the team that maintain the model. thanks for reporting it.

This model is totally useless.

Cracks are not detected! Hope you would solve this fast

Hello @Katherine_Rudzki @KhaledAlhozDVDev Could you share the imagery for reproducing this issue? Please feel free to reach out to me at ptuteja@esri.com if you have any questions.

I am also experiencing issues with the tool failing to detect cracks in our dataset. The imagery was captured using an Autel Evo II Pro drone at 150 ft and 400 ft AGL, producing TIFF images mosaiced in PIX4D, with a native cell size of approximately 0.01384 meters in both the X and Y directions. We understand that the DLP was trained on imagery with a 2 cm per pixel resolution (0.02 meters). To align with the model's expected scale, we attempted to resample our TIFFs to 0.02 meters; however, the results were the same, and the tool does not detect most cracks after resampling. I did go through all the steps of installing the Deep learning Libraries. Has anyone found a solution?

Unfortunately I'm in a similar boat... I'm curious to know if anyone has been able to successfully run this model and obtain somewhat accurate results. The description of the model is very promising, but the model itself leaves much to be desired.

I am running into the same problem. Has anyone worked on creating one on their own? I need one that will detect cracks(in linear footage) and alligator cracking in square footage.

@PavanYadav @PriyankaTuteja

Do either of you have something that we can use to train/build a better AI model for detecting cracks and alligator cracking?

Tried the model, and it only made a copy of my base/sample imagery.

I ended up making my own...
