AerialCrackDetection_Keras is a project about object detection from aerial imagery using pavament crack data. The project uses the open source software library Keras and Tensorflow, with a ZF or VGG16 or ZF or VGG16 or GoogleNet or ResNet50 or ResNet101 neuronal networks. AerialCrackDetection_Keras is based on Faster RCNN.

    PS: The project is only the original version, the improved version is not open.

• The first part is collecting and labeling aerial pictures.
• Most of the pictures are from School of Aerospace Engineering, Beijing Institute of Technology.
• You can use LabelImg to analyze them and label them.
• You can find the AerialCrackDataset in my Google Drive.
• If you find AerialCrackDataset useful in your research, please consider citing:

• You need install Tensorflow and Keras.
• If you want to use the Pre-trained ImageNet models: VGG16 or ResNet50, you need download them from here.

cd $FRCN_ROOT
mkdir model
cd model
# put the Pre-trained ImageNet models here

• The third part is training the detection and classification model.

cd $FRCN_ROOT
./train.py [--path] [--network]
# --path is the dataset location you want to train
# --net in {ZF, VGG16, GoogleNet, ResNet50, ResNet101} is the network arch to use

• The Fourth part is testing the detection and classification model.

cd $FRCN_ROOT
./test.py [--path] [--network]
# --path is the dataset location you want to test
# --net in {ZF, VGG16, GoogleNet, ResNet50, ResNet101} is the network arch to use
