Abstract

A method and apparatus for identifying a concrete crack includes: obtaining a crack video, and manually annotating a video image frame by using a label; predicting a future frame and label for the annotated frame by using a spatial displacement convolutional block, propagating the future frame and label, to obtain a synthetic sample, and preprocessing the synthetic sample, to form a crack database; modifying input and output ports of data of a deep learning model for video semantic image segmentation and a parameter, to enable the deep learning model to accept video input, and establishing a concrete crack detection model based on the video output; using a convolutional layer in a trained deep learning model as an initial weight of the concrete crack detection model for migration; inputting the crack database into a migrated concrete crack detection model, and training the concrete crack detection model for crack data.
