Concrete crack detection using Deep Learning and Computer Vision

Introduction

Cracks on the surface are a major defect in concrete structures. Early crack detection allows preventing possible damage. There are various approaches to solving this problem. It can be manual inspection or automatic detection methods. But nowadays automatic detection methods include not only laser testing and radiographic testing. Progress in neural networks and computer vision allows us to use image processing for concrete surface crack detection. 

In this article, we will share our approach to solving the problem mentioned above.

What is a recurrent neural network and how to use it

In this article we will explain what a recurrent neural network is and study some recurrent models, including the most popular LSTM model. After the theoretical part we will write a complete simple example of recurrent network in Python 3 using Keras and Tensorflow libraries, which you can use as a playground for your experiments.
