Abstract

Cracks as the main safety concern of dams, high-precision identification of dam cracks is of great application value and scientific significance to ensure the safety of dams. The paper proposes a dam crack identification method based on multi-source information fusion. Specifically, image gray scale and geometric features are extracted based on the image information. And then a single crack identification model based on Support Vector Machine (SVM), Decision Tree (DT), Random Forest (RF), XGBoost, and BP Neural Network are established based on the features, respectively. Finally, a multi-classifier fusion algorithm based on D-S evidence theory is established to identify the presence of cracks by fusing single identification models. Experiments are carried out to compare the proposed method with the existing identification methods based on the evaluation metrics such as accuracy, precision, F1-score, and recall. The results show that the accuracy of crack identification of the proposed method in this paper reaches 98.9%, and the crack identification results are better than the existing methods.
