Multi-Task Crack Foundation Model for Engineering-Reliable Crack Representation and Topology Preservation in Civil Infrastructure
Researchers have developed CrackGeoFM, a novel multi-task framework designed to improve crack representation and topology preservation in civil infrastructure assessments. This model combines a frozen visual foundation backbone with specialized adaptation modules for predicting crack masks, reconstructing their skeletal structure, and estimating uncertainty. By integrating a frequency-guided enhancement module and a domain adaptation module, CrackGeoFM aims to provide more reliable and generalizable crack analysis for engineering purposes. AI
IMPACT Enhances the reliability and generalizability of crack analysis for infrastructure assessment.
