Abstract
Signs of functional loss due to the deterioration of structures are primarily identified from cracks occurring on the surface of structures, and continuous monitoring of structural cracks is essential for socially important structures. Recently, many structural crack monitoring technologies have been developed with the development of deep-learning artificial intelligence (AI). In this study, stacking ensemble learning was applied to predict the structural cracks more precisely. A semantic segmentation model was primarily used for crack detection using a deep learning AI model. We studied the crack-detection performance by training UNet, DeepLabV3, DeepLabV3+, DANet, and FCN-8s. Owing to the unsuitable crack segmentation performance of the FCN-8s, stacking ensemble learning was conducted with the remaining four models. Individual models yielded an intersection over union (IoU) score ranging from approximately 0.4 to 0.6 for the test dataset. However, when the metamodel completed with stacking ensemble learning was used, the IoU score was 0.74, indicating a high-performance improvement. A total of 1235 test images was acquired with drones on the sea bridge, and the stacking ensemble model showed an IoU of 0.5 or higher for 64.4% of the images.
