摘要

Crack detection plays a vital role in ensuring the structural integrity and safety of infrastructures, such as roads and buildings. However, traditional manual inspection methods are inefficient, and current machine learning approaches require large amounts of labeled data, which is costly and time-consuming to obtain. In this paper, we propose a Mixed Supervised Learning (MSL) algorithm that reduces the need for extensive labeled data sets by combining several learning techniques, and an Efficient Multiscale Transformer version 2 (EMTv2) model, that incorporates multiscale feature extraction and novel attention mechanisms to enhance crack classification and segmentation performance. The MSL algorithm achieves competitive segmentation results using only \(25\%\) 25 % of the image-level labeled data required by traditional weakly supervised learning methods, outperforming existing models on four data sets in multiple metrics. Our approach demonstrates significant improvements in both efficiency, and segmentation quality, offering a more practical solution for real-world crack detection applications.
