Hypothesis

Can a multi-stage deep learning framework improve the detection and classification of concrete cracks?

Conclusion

The proposed multi-stage YOLOV10-ViT model significantly enhances the accuracy of concrete crack classification compared to individual models.

Supporting Evidence

  • The YOLOV10 model achieved a precision of 90.67%, recall of 90.03%, and F1-score of 90.34%.
  • The multi-stage model outperformed the individual ViT model by 10.9%, 19.99%, and 19.2% for precision, recall, and F1-score, respectively.
  • The ViT model reached a validation accuracy of 99.29% after training.

Takeaway

This study created a smart system that helps find and identify cracks in concrete, making buildings safer.

Methodology

The study used a multi-stage framework combining YOLOV10 for detection and ViT for classification of concrete cracks.

Limitations

The model may misclassify certain crack types due to resizing issues between detection and classification stages.
