Query: Weakly Supervised Patch Label Inference Networks for Efficient Pavement
  Distress Detection and Recognition in the Wild   Automatic image-based pavement distress detection and recognition are vital
for pavement maintenance and management. However, existing deep learning-based
methods largely omit the specific characteristics of pavement images, such as
high image resolution and low distress area ratio, and are not end-to-end
trainable. In this paper, we present a series of simple yet effective
end-to-end deep learning approaches named Weakly Supervised Patch Label
Inference Networks (WSPLIN) for efficiently addressing these tasks under
various application settings. To fully exploit the resolution and scale
information, WSPLIN first divides the pavement image under different scales
into patches with different collection strategies and then employs a Patch
Label Inference Network (PLIN) to infer the labels of these patches. Notably,
we design a patch label sparsity constraint based on the prior knowledge of
distress distribution, and leverage the Comprehensive Decision Network (CDN) to
guide the training of PLIN in a weakly supervised way. Therefore, the patch
labels produced by PLIN provide interpretable intermediate information, such as
the rough location and the type of distress. We evaluate our method on a
large-scale bituminous pavement distress dataset named CQU-BPDD. Extensive
results demonstrate the superiority of our method over baselines in both
performance and efficiency.
