Image-based intelligent detection of road cracks with high accuracy and efficiency is vital to the overall condition assessment pavement. However, significant problems continuous interruption background discrete noise misidentification are frequently observed in current semantic segmentation pavement cracks, which mainly caused by traditional convolutional neural networks. This paper proposes a skip-level round-trip sampling block structure implementation networks, thereby constructed novel...

The conventional surface reflection method has been widely used to measure the asphalt pavement layer dielectric constant using ground-penetrating radar (GPR). This may be inaccurate for in-service thickness estimation with variation through depth, which could addressed extended common mid-point (XCMP) air-coupled GPR antennas. However, factors affecting XCMP on prediction accuracy haven't studied. Manual acquisition of key is required, hinders its real-time applications. study investigates...

Abstract Three‐dimensional (3D) buried object detection using ground penetrating radar (GPR) benefits from the powerful capacity of image‐wise deep neural networks. However, it still faces challenge information loss raw GPR signals to two‐ and three‐dimensional images, such as frequency‐domain when normalizing into gray‐scale images spatial stacked B‐ C‐scan replace inputs. To solve challenge, this study has proposed an ENNreg‐transformer model, directly 3D perform detection. In are first...

This study investigated the simulation of wheel tracking test and high-temperature rutting behaviour an asphalt mixture by using discrete element method (DEM). Based on DEM software named as Particle Flow Code in three dimensions (PFC3D), a micromechanical model composed coarse aggregates, mastic, air voids was built two-dimensional virtual simulated. test, distribution displacement contact forces within specimen were analysed. It is proved that can capture deformation caused combination...

Abstract Distress segmentation assigns each pixel of a pavement image to one distress class or background, which provides simplified representation for detection and measurement. Even though remarkably benefiting from deep learning, still faces the problems poor calibration multimodel fusion. This study has proposed neural network by combining Dempster–Shafer theory (DST) transformer segmentation. The network, called evidential transformer, uses its backbone obtain pixel‐wise features input...
