Abstract

Abstract

En 中文
With the exponential growth of road transportation infrastructure, the need for pavement maintenance has increased significantly. Surface cracking represents a critical evaluation metric in roadway inspection. Conventional manual inspection methods impose substantial demands on personnel resources, time investment, and operational safety while being susceptible to subjective assessment biases. Leveraging advancements in computer vision technology, researchers have progressively investigated automated solutions for infrastructure defect identification. This study presents an enhanced deep learning framework for pavement crack detection within computer science applications, featuring three principal innovations: implementation of the SIoU loss function for improved boundary regression, adoption of the Mish activation function to enhance feature representation, and integration of the EfficientFormerV2 attention mechanism for optimized computational efficiency. Experimental validation confirms the technical feasibility of our approach, demonstrating measurable improvements in processing efficiency and computational speed compared to baseline methods.
