However, road pavements include not only damages such as longitudinal cracks, transverse cracks, alligator cracks, and potholes, but also various elements such as manholes, road marks, oil marks, shadows, and joints. Therefore, in order to separate categories that exist in various road pavements, in this paper, 13,500 digital, IR, and MSX images were collected and nine categories were automatically classified by DarkNet. The DarkNet classification accuracies of digital images, IR images, and MSX images are 97.4%, 80.1%, and 91.1%, respectively. The MSX image is a enhanced image of the IR image and showed an average of 6% lower accuracy than the digital image but an average of 11% higher accuracy than the IR image. Therefore, MSX images can play a complementary role if DarkNet classification is performed together with digital images. In this paper, a method for detecting the directionality of each crack through a two-dimensional wavelet transform is presented, and this result can contribute to future research on detecting cracks in pavements.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s24020464","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,1,11]],"date-time":"2024-01-11T12:56:33Z","timestamp":1704977793000},"page":"464","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":14,"title":["Automatic Damage Detection of Pavement through DarkNet Analysis of Digital, Infrared, and Multi-Spectral Dynamic Imaging Images"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"24","author":[{"given":"Hyungjoon","family":"Seo","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, University of Liverpool, Liverpool L69 7WW, UK"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Yunfan","family":"Shi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Computer Science, University of Liverpool, Liverpool L69 7WW, UK"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Lang","family":"Fu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, University of Liverpool, Liverpool L69 7WW, UK"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,1,11]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"732","DOI":"10.1061\/(ASCE)0733-947X(2005)131:10(732)","article-title":"Effects of supersingle tire loadings on pavements","volume":"131","author":"Kim","year":"2005","journal-title":"J.
