Abstract

Detecting the underground disease is very crucial for the roadbed health monitoring and maintenance of transport facilities, since it is very closely related to the structural health and reliability with the rapid development of road traffic. Ground penetrating radar (GPR) is widely used to detect road and underground diseases. However, it is still a challenging task due to data access anywhere, transmission security and data processing on cloud. Cloud computing can provide scalable and powerful technologies for large-scale storage, processing and dissemination of GPR data. Combined with cloud computing and radar detection technology, it is possible to locate the underground disease quickly and accurately. This paper deploys the framework of a ground disease detection system based on cloud computing and proposes an attention region convolution neural network for object detection in the GPR images. Experimental results of the precision and recall metrics show that the proposed approach is more efficient than traditional objection detection method in ground disease detection of cloud based system.
