Intelligent Road Crack Detection Using Fuzzy Logic and Multi-Scale Optimization
Journal Title: Information Dynamics and Applications - Year 2025, Vol 4, Issue 1
Abstract
Accurate detection of road cracks is essential for maintaining infrastructure integrity, ensuring road safety, and preventing costly structural damage. However, challenges such as varying illumination conditions, noise, irregular crack patterns, and complex background textures often hinder reliable detection. To address these issues, a novel Fuzzy-Powered Multi-Scale Optimization (FMSO) model was proposed, integrating adaptive fuzzy operators, multi-scale level set evolution, Dynamic Graph Energy Minimization (GEM), and Hybrid Swarm Optimization (HSO). The FMSO model employs multi-resolution segmentation, entropy-based fuzzy weighting, and adaptive optimization strategies to enhance detection accuracy, while adaptive fuzzy operators mitigate the impact of illumination variations. Multi-scale level set evolution refines crack boundaries with high precision, and GEM effectively separates cracks from intricate backgrounds. Furthermore, HSO dynamically optimizes segmentation parameters, ensuring improved accuracy. The model was rigorously evaluated using multiple benchmark datasets, with performance metrics including accuracy, precision, recall, and F1-score. Experimental results demonstrate that the FMSO model surpasses existing methods, achieving superior accuracy, enhanced precision, and higher recall. Notably, the model effectively reduces false positives while maintaining sensitivity to fine crack details. The integration of fuzzy logic and multi-scale optimization techniques renders the FMSO model highly adaptable to varying road conditions and imaging environments, making it a robust solution for infrastructure maintenance. This approach not only advances the field of road crack detection but also provides a scalable framework for addressing similar challenges in other domains of image analysis and pattern recognition.
