1.Introduction.

CrackForest Dataset is an annotated road crack image database which can reflect urban road surface condition in general.

If you use this crack image dataset, we appreciate it if you cite an appropriate subset of the following papers:

crackforest-dataset's Issues

What are the .seg files in this repository for and how to use them?

segmentation groundTruth label in .mat

Thanks for your great job and kind sharing.

I am currently employing CarckForest, and intend to do some segmentation jobs based on it.

But when I looked into .mat file and check the 'segmentation' part, I find some images are label by [1,2], while others are labeled by [1,2,3] and [1,2,3,4], any explanation on it, please?

Thanks in advance.

Data missing

Hello,

I'm interested in using the dataset. However, there are some missing images (file name) in 'seg' folder that is not in 'image' folder. Can you please double check that?

How to make ground truth data

We want to make a crack detection dataset and want to know how to make ground truth data (methods ， softwares or tools). Crack ground truth is different from ordinary segmentation ground truth. The shape of crack is so slim to draw contours, while ordinary object, such as human and cat, is easy to draw contours. Thankyou very much!

我们想了解一下如何去做一个裂缝的标注（方法、涉及的软件或者工具等） 。我们知道，裂缝形状很细长， 很难像普通物体一样使用labelme等工具去标注。所以，我们想请问一下你们有没有标注裂缝的比较好的方式。很抱歉，在这个数据集开放了几年后，问这个问题。十分感谢。
