Researchers have developed a lightweight convolutional neural network framework designed for real-time crack classification in UAV bridge inspections. The system addresses challenges like weak crack features, poor imaging, class imbalance, and limited computational power. It incorporates an attention module for enhanced focus on crack trajectories and achieves high inference speeds with a minimal parameter count, offering a practical solution for structural health monitoring.
