Abstract Pavement crack detection plays a crucial role in ensuring road safety and reducing maintenance expenses. Recent advancements in deep learning (DL) techniques have shown promising results in detecting pavement cracks; however, the selection of relevant features for classification remains challenging. In this study, we propose a new approach for pavement crack detection that integrates deep learning for feature extraction, the whale optimization algorithm (WOA) for feature selection, and random forest (RF) for classification. The performance of the models was evaluated using accuracy, recall, precision, F1 score, and area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC).… More >

Abstract Extreme Learning Machine (ELM) is popular in batch learning, sequential learning, and progressive learning, due to its speed, easy integration, and generalization ability. While, Traditional ELM cannot train massive data rapidly and efficiently due to its memory residence, high time and space complexity. In ELM, the hidden layer typically necessitates a huge number of nodes. Furthermore, there is no certainty that the arrangement of weights and biases within the hidden layer is optimal. To solve this problem, the traditional ELM has been hybridized with swarm intelligence optimization techniques. This paper displays five proposed hybrid Algorithms… More >
