A crack detection system for structural health monitoring aided by a convolutional neural network and mapreduce framework

Abstract

The quickly expanded development of artificial intelligence offers alternative ways to solve numerous civil engineering problems. The work is devoted to the development of a computer-vision-based crack detection system capable to process big data related to pathology recognition. In this study, we discuss an automated crack type classification pipeline based on CNN deep learning algorithm and MapReduce framework. The results of numerical modeling illustrate the potential of the crack detection system.
