[0026] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solution in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0027] See also Figure 1 , which shows a flow chart of a crack detection method based on asphalt pavement images of the present application.

[0028] like Figure 1 As shown, the crack detection method based on asphalt pavement image specifically includes the following steps:

[0029] Step S101, obtaining pavement images of asphalt pavement at different positions, and segmentally fusing the first target areas of each pavement image based on a preset fusion strategy to obtain at least one target pavement image, wherein the first target area includes a left edge area and a right edge area in the pavement image.

[0030] In this step, each road surface image is divided into a first target area and a second target area of ​​the same size, and each divided road surface image is aligned in parallel based on the acquisition time, wherein the second target area is located between the first target areas; each aligned road surface image is imported into a preset two-dimensional coordinate system, and at least one first pixel feature point located in the first target area in the first road surface image and at least one second pixel feature point located in the first target area in the second road surface image are obtained, wherein the first road surface image and the second road surface image are two adjacent road surface images; it is determined whether a first distance between a first coordinate point where a first pixel feature point is located and a second coordinate point where a second pixel feature point is located is greater than a preset distance threshold; if the first distance is not greater than the preset distance threshold, then continue to obtain a third road surface image. at least one third pixel feature point located in the first target area, and determining whether a second distance between a third coordinate point where a third pixel feature point is located and a second coordinate point where a second pixel feature point is located is greater than a preset distance threshold, wherein the third road surface image and the second road surface image are two adjacent road surface images; if the second distance is not greater than the preset distance threshold, then based on the certain first pixel feature point, the certain second pixel feature point and the certain third pixel feature point, the first road surface image, the second road surface image and the third road surface image are all fused to obtain a target road surface image; if the second distance is greater than the preset distance threshold, then based on the certain first pixel feature point and the certain second pixel feature point, the first road surface image and the second road surface image are fused to obtain a target road surface image.

[0031] For example, a section of asphalt road A from north to south has road image No. 1, road image No. 2, road image No. 3, road image No. 4, road image No. 5, and road image No. 6. Since there are trees along the asphalt road A, the shadows of the trees are projected on the asphalt road A due to the sun, resulting in a shadow in the middle of the road image No. 1; a shadow at the left edge of the road image No. 2, and a shadow at the right edge of the road image No. 3; a shadow at the left edge of the road image No. 4, shadows at both the left and right edges of the road image No. 5, and a shadow at the right edge of the road image No. 6.

[0032] Based on the segmented fusion method of the present application, road surface image No. 1 can be used alone as the first target road surface image, road surface image No. 2 and road surface image No. 3 can be fused to obtain the second target road surface image, and road surface image No. 4, road surface image No. 5 and road surface image No. 6 can be fused to obtain the third target road surface image, wherein the image size of the third target road surface image is larger than the image size of the second target road surface image and the image size of the first target road surface image, respectively.

[0033] Step S102: acquiring position information corresponding to the asphalt road surface in the at least one target road surface image and an image size of the at least one target road surface image.

[0034] In this step, the position information corresponding to the asphalt road surface in at least one target road surface image can be obtained by associating GPS information with the road surface image during the process of collecting the road surface image. For example, by detecting that a car is driving on the asphalt road surface, the GPS information of the detected car is continuously uploaded based on the time of collecting the image during the driving process, and the position information corresponding to the asphalt road surface in the target road surface image is obtained.

[0035] Step S103, associating the target road images with continuous position information and image sizes from small to large, and obtaining the association relationship between the target road images with different image sizes, wherein the association process specifically includes: obtaining a certain image size of a certain target road image corresponding to the first position information, another image size of another target road image corresponding to the second position, and other image sizes of other target road images corresponding to the third position, wherein the first position information, the second position and the third position are adjacent in sequence; and determining the association relationship between the target road images with different image sizes according to the size between the certain image size, the other image size and the other image size.

[0036] In this step, if the first distance is greater than the preset distance threshold, the first road surface image and the second road surface image are not fused, and it is continued to be determined whether the second distance between a third coordinate point where a third pixel feature point is located and a second coordinate point where a second pixel feature point is located is greater than the preset distance threshold; if the second distance is not greater than the preset distance threshold, a second pixel feature point and a third pixel feature point, the second road surface image and the third road surface image are all fused to obtain the target road surface image; if the second distance is greater than the preset distance threshold, the second road surface image and the third road surface image are not fused.

[0037] In this embodiment, the purpose of establishing the association relationship is to associate multiple target road surface images that may have similar road surface conditions, thereby facilitating the reduction of the amount of image recognition data in the subsequent recognition process.

[0038] Specifically, the sizes among the certain image size, the other image size and the other image size are determined; if the certain image size is not smaller than the other image size, and the other image size is not smaller than the other image size, the certain target road surface image, the other target road surface image and the other target road surface image are not associated; if the certain image size is not smaller than the other image size, and the other image size is smaller than the other image size, only the other target road surface image and the other target road surface image are associated; if the certain image size is smaller than the other image size, and the other image size is not smaller than the other image size, only the certain target road surface image and the other target road surface image are associated; if the certain image size is smaller than the other image size, and the other image size is smaller than the other image size, the certain target road surface image, the other target road surface image and the other target road surface image are associated.

[0039] For example, the No. 1 road image is used alone as the first target road image, the No. 2 road image and the No. 3 road image are fused to obtain the second target road image, and the No. 4 road image, the No. 5 road image and the No. 6 road image are fused to obtain the third target road image, wherein the image size of the third target road image is larger than the image size of the second target road image and the image size of the first target road image. At this time, the first target road image, the second target road image and the third target road image can be associated, the purpose of which is to associate the image scenes with tree shadows, and their road conditions are more similar, which is convenient for subsequent image recognition.

[0040] For another example, if there are water stains in the No. 7 road surface image and its edge pixels do not match, then the No. 7 road surface image is used alone as the fourth target road surface image. Since the image size of the fourth target road surface image is smaller than the image size of the third target road surface image, the fourth target road surface image cannot be associated with the first target road surface image, the second target road surface image, and the third target road surface image. In this way, the road surface scenes can be better distinguished, which is convenient for reducing the amount of image data recognition later.

[0041] Step S104, completely covering the second target area of ​​the first target road surface image in a certain association relationship on the first target combination area of ​​the second target road surface image to obtain an updated second target road surface image, wherein the first target road surface image is the target road surface image with the smallest image size in the certain association relationship, the second target road surface image is the target road surface image with the second smallest image size in the certain association relationship, and the first target combination area is the combination area of ​​the first target area of ​​one road surface image and the first target area of ​​another road surface image.

[0042] In this step, the second target area of ​​the first target road surface image is intercepted, and the intercepted second target area is aligned with the first target combined area. After alignment, the second target area is fused into the second target road surface image to obtain an updated second target road surface image.

[0043] Step S105 , identifying the updated second target road surface image according to the preset image recognition model to obtain a second recognition result corresponding to the updated second target road surface image.

[0044] In this step, the image recognition model can be obtained by training a convolutional neural network. For example, a road surface image and annotation information of cracks in the road surface image are input into a convolutional neural network for iterative training.

[0045] Step S106 , determining a first crack detection result of the first target road surface image and a second crack detection result of the second target road surface image according to the second recognition result.

[0046] In this step, it is determined whether there is a crack area in the second recognition result; if there is no crack area, it is directly defined that there is no crack area in the first target road surface image; if there is a crack area, the first target road surface image or the second target road surface image is input into the image recognition model for recognition according to the position of the crack area, and the first crack result of the first target road surface image or the second crack result of the second target road surface image is obtained.

[0047] Specifically, according to the position of the crack area, the first target road surface image or the second target road surface image is input into the image recognition model for identification to obtain the first crack result of the first target road surface image or the second crack result of the second target road surface image, including: if the position of the crack area is within the coordinate range of the first target combination area, the first target road surface image is input into the image recognition model for identification to obtain the first crack result of the first target road surface image, and the second identification result is defined as the second crack result of the second target road surface image; if the position of the crack area is not within the coordinate range of the first target combination area, the second target road surface image is input into the image recognition model for identification to obtain the second crack result of the second target road surface image, and the second identification result is defined as the first crack result of the first target road surface image.

[0048] In this embodiment, the second recognition result is obtained by recognizing the updated second target road surface image. When there is no crack area in the second recognition result, it means that the associated first target road surface image and the second target road surface image are both very likely to have no defects, so it is invalid to re-detect the first target road surface image or the second target road surface image, which can effectively reduce the recognition amount of image data. For example, the road surface image No. 1 is used alone as the first target road surface image, and the road surface image No. 2 and the road surface image No. 3 are fused to obtain the second target road surface image. In a scene with tree shadows, the second target road surface image is updated to obtain an updated second target road surface image. When there is no crack in the updated second target road surface image, it means that after the road surface in this scene has been initially fused and detected, the actual first target road surface image and the second target road surface image are very likely to have no cracks, so re-detection is performed without special needs.

[0049] In summary, the method of the present application associates target road surface images with continuous position information and image sizes from small to large to obtain an association relationship between target road surface images of different image sizes, completely covers the second target area of ​​the first target road surface image in a certain association relationship on the first target combination area of ​​the second target road surface image to obtain an updated second target road surface image, and recognizes the updated second target road surface image according to a preset image recognition model to obtain a second recognition result corresponding to the updated second target road surface image, and determines a first crack detection result of the first target road surface image and a second crack detection result of the second target road surface image according to the second recognition result, thereby reducing the image data in the input image recognition model as much as possible, thereby effectively improving the efficiency of crack detection.

[0050] See also Figure 2 , which shows a structural block diagram of a crack detection system based on asphalt pavement images of the present application.

[0051] like Figure 2 As shown, the crack detection system 200 includes a fusion module 210 , an acquisition module 220 , an association module 230 , an update module 240 , an identification module 250 and a determination module 260 .

[0052] Among them, the fusion module 210 is configured to obtain road surface images of asphalt road surfaces at different positions, and based on a preset fusion strategy, the first target areas of each road surface image are segmented and fused to obtain at least one target road surface image, wherein the first target area includes a left edge area and a right edge area in the road surface image; the acquisition module 220 is configured to obtain the position information corresponding to the asphalt road surface in the at least one target road surface image and the image size of the at least one target road surface image; the association module 230 is configured to associate each target road surface image with continuous position information and image sizes from small to large to obtain the association relationship between target road surface images of different image sizes, wherein the association process specifically includes: obtaining a certain image size of a certain target road surface image corresponding to the first position information, another image size of another target road surface image corresponding to the second position, and other image sizes of other target road surface images corresponding to the third position, wherein the first position information, the second position, and the third position are adjacent in sequence; according to the certain image size, the other image size, The size between one image size and the other image sizes determines the association relationship between target road surface images of different image sizes; the updating module 240 is configured to completely cover the second target area of ​​the first target road surface image in a certain association relationship on the first target combination area of ​​the second target road surface image to obtain an updated second target road surface image, wherein the first target road surface image is the target road surface image with the smallest image size in the certain association relationship, the second target road surface image is the target road surface image with the second smallest image size in the certain association relationship, and the first target combination area is the combination area of ​​the first target area of ​​one road surface image and the first target area of ​​another road surface image; the identifying module 250 is configured to identify the updated second target road surface image according to a preset image recognition model to obtain a second recognition result corresponding to the updated second target road surface image; the determining module 260 is configured to respectively determine the first crack detection result of the first target road surface image and the second crack detection result of the second target road surface image according to the second recognition result.
