2D Digital Image Correlation and Region-Based Convolutional Neural Network in Monitoring and Evaluation of Surface Cracks in Concrete Structural Elements

This paper shows how 2D digital image correlation (2D DIC) and region-based convolutional neural network (R-CNN) can be combined for image-based automated monitoring and assessment of surface crack development of concrete structural elements during laboratory quasi-static tests. In the presented app...
