Abstract

In this paper we propose a novel fusion convolutional neural network to identify the local fatigue cracks in steel box girder of cable-stayed bridge. Unlike conventional CNN’s chain-like structure, the proposed network fully exploits multiscale and multilevel information of input images by combining all the meaningful convolutional features together. Raw images with high resolution of 3624×4928 are decomposed into three kinds of sub-image sets with lower resolution of 64×64, background, handwriting and crack, respectively. Multi-functional layers are stacked including convolution, ReLU, softmaxResults show that the test error drops to 4% after only 50 epochs and it is more effective compared with other deep learning networks when handling large image datasets.
