Abstract
In the last decades, the majority of the existing infrastructure heritage is approaching the end of its nominal design life mainly due to aging, deterioration, and degradation phenomena, threatening the safety levels of these strategic routes of communications. For civil engineers and researchers devoted to assessing and monitoring the structural health (SHM) of existing structures, the demand for innovative indirect non-destructive testing (NDT) methods aided with artificial intelligence (AI) is progressively spreading. In the present study, the authors analyzed the exertion of various deep learning models in order to increase the productivity of classifying ground penetrating radar (GPR) images for SHM purposes, especially focusing on road tunnel linings evaluations. Specifically, the authors presented a comparative study employing two convolutional models, i.e. the ResNet-50 and the EfficientNet-B0, and a recent transformer model, i.e. the Vision Transformer (ViT). Precisely, the authors evaluated the effects of training the models with or without pre-processed data through the bi-dimensional Fourier transform. Despite the theoretical advantages envisaged by adopting this kind of pre-processing technique on GPR images, the best classification performances have been still manifested by the classifiers trained without the Fourier pre-processing.
期刊介绍:
Integrated Computer-Aided Engineering (ICAE) was founded in 1993. "Based on the premise that interdisciplinary thinking and synergistic collaboration of disciplines can solve complex problems, open new frontiers, and lead to true innovations and breakthroughs, the cornerstone of industrial competitiveness and advancement of the society" as noted in the inaugural issue of the journal.
The focus of ICAE is the integration of leading edge and emerging computer and information technologies for innovative solution of engineering problems. The journal fosters interdisciplinary research and presents a unique forum for innovative computer-aided engineering. It also publishes novel industrial applications of CAE, thus helping to bring new computational paradigms from research labs and classrooms to reality. Areas covered by the journal include (but are not limited to) artificial intelligence, advanced signal processing, biologically inspired computing, cognitive modeling, concurrent engineering, database management, distributed computing, evolutionary computing, fuzzy logic, genetic algorithms, geometric modeling, intelligent and adaptive systems, internet-based technologies, knowledge discovery and engineering, machine learning, mechatronics, mobile computing, multimedia technologies, networking, neural network computing, object-oriented systems, optimization and search, parallel processing, robotics virtual reality, and visualization techniques.
