Robust Lightweight Crack Classification for Real-Time UAV Bridge Inspection

arXiv CS.AI

ArXi:2604.27617v1 Announce Type: cross With the widespread application of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) in bridge structural health monitoring, deep learning-based automatic crack detection has become a major research focus. However, practical UAV inspections still face four key challenges: weak crack features, degraded imaging conditions, severe class imbalance, and limited computational resources for practical UAV inspection workflows.
