Automated Ground Truth Generation for Learning-Based Crack Detection on Concrete Surfaces

This article introduces an automated data-labeling approach for generating crack ground truths (GTs) within concrete images. The main algorithm includes generating first-round GTs, pre-training a deep learning-based model, and generating second-round GTs. On the basis of the generated second-round G...
