Semi-supervised learning framework for crack segmentation based on contrastive learning and cross pseudo supervision

Chao Xiang et al.

Summary: In this study, a novel semi-supervised deep learning framework, called SemiCrack, is proposed for crack segmentation. The framework combines contrastive learning and cross pseudo supervision (CPS) and utilizes pixel contrastive loss to improve segmentation accuracy. Experimental results demonstrate that SemiCrack outperforms many existing fully-supervised and semi-supervised segmentation algorithms on various publicly available datasets. The segmentation accuracy of TC-Net is higher than that of most fully-supervised segmentation networks, with an improvement of about 2% in Intersection of Union (IoU). Besides, SemiCrack achieves comparable accuracy to other fully-supervised algorithms with only 20% labeled data.
