Concrete crack detection
Find cracks in photos of concrete walls, roads and bridges.
The brief
Inspectors walk bridges and buildings looking for cracks. Train an image model that finds cracks in photos of concrete surfaces, test it on photos taken in different light, and show where it is looking. Good looks like: high recall on cracks, a robustness test, heat maps, and a demo on uploaded photos.
What you will build
- Explore the crack and no-crack images
- Fine-tune a pre-trained image model
- Test on harder photos in different light
- Show heat maps of crack locations
- Build an upload-and-check demo
