Automatic Crack Segmentation in Pavements using a Dilated Encoder-Decoder Network

Structural degradation of pavements has a direct impact on road safety. Due to weather conditions, moisture, and intensive use, pavements tend to crack which requires maintenance and repair. Over the last few years, crack detection has become an active research area with the advances of deep learning techniques. Nowadays, multiples techniques are being explored to automatically detect cracks in im...
