Cracks on surface walls may imply that a building possesses problems with its structural integrity. Evaluating these types of defects needs to be accurate to determine the condition of the building. Currently, the evaluation of surface cracks is conducted through visual inspection, resulting in occasions of subjective judgements being made on the classification and severity of the surface crack which poses danger for customers and the environment as it not being analysed objectively. Previous researchers have applied numerous classification methods, but they always stop their research at just being able to classify cracks which would not be fully useful for professionals such as surveyors. We propose building a hybrid web application that can classify the condition of a surface from images using a trained Hierarchal-Convolutional Neural Network(H-CNN) which can also decipher if the image that is being looked is a surface or not. For continuous improvement of the H-CNN's accuracy, the application will have a feedback mechanism for users to send an email query on incorrectly classified images which will be used to retrain the H-CNN.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
