Inspired by the development of deep learning in computer vision and object detection, the proposed algorithm considers an encoder-decoder architecture with hierarchical feature learning and dilated convolution, named U-Hierarchical Dilated Network (U-HDN), to perform crack detection in an end-to-end method. Crack characteristics with multiple conte...

... a MDM based on encoder features to obtain multiple context sizes' features was designed [66][67][68], as is shown in Figure 4. The dilation convolution is able to expand the sizes of the convolution filters, instead of using larger filter and down-sampling. ...

The detection of distant tiny objects in aerial imagery plays a pivotal role in early warning, localization, and recognition tasks. However, due to the scarcity of appearance information, minimal pixel representation, susceptibility to blending with the background, and the incompatibility of conventional metrics, the rapid and accurate detection of...

Detecting objects in aerial images is a challenging task due to the large-scale variations and arbitrary orientations with tiny instances. A new multi-scale transformer-based aerial objects detector called MStrans is proposed in this paper to deal with the challenges in aerial detection. To detect remote instances, MStrans adopts a multi-scale patc...

As an excellent single-stage object detector based on neural networks, YOLOv5 has found extensive applications in the industrial domain; however, it still exhibits certain design limitations. To address these issues, this paper proposes Efficient Scale Fusion YOLO (ESF-YOLO). Firstly, the Multi-Sampling Conv Module (MSCM) is designed, which enhance...

In recent years, the demand for automatic crack detection has increased rapidly. Due to the particularity of crack images, that is, the proportion of cracks in the entire images is very small, and some cracks in the image are particularly slender and light, it brings challenge for automatic crack detection. In this paper, we propose an end-to-end p...
