Overview of the literature survey.

S. NoRefModel usedMeritsDemerits

1[1]CNN ModelThis model detects the damage location and damage severity with a validation accuracy of 89.06%(i) But the model is implemented with the static condition
(ii) The bridge is temporarily closed and determined using static loading conditions
(iii) This can be expanded for the dynamic loading condition

2[2]Fast R-CNNData augmentation gives a better mean F1-Score of 6.255 when compared with R-CNN 6.174Much weightage is given for the preprocessing techniques model evaluation training is not discussed

3[14]Neural network-based damage detection methodEfficient method for pattern detection(i) A considerable amount of false alarms
(ii) Structural damages of the bridges are not identified properly

4[19]FCN-based road surface anomaly detection modelThe road anomalies and the location detection can be given approximatelyBut the depth of the anomalies cannot be determined by the proposed model

5[27]A black box camera is used to detect a pothole(i) Potholes detection(i) Black box camera uses a limited computing environment. The intensity of the light affects the false detection
(ii) Suitable for pavement management system

6[28]Decision Tree heuristic algorithmPavement crack detection(i) More processing time due to preprocessing of images
(ii) Horizontal and vertical classification of pictures needed for further crack detection

7[29]SSD inception V2 and SSD MobileNetDeveloped for classifying eight types of road damages(i) Could achieve a precision of 77% and recall of 71% only
(ii) Dataset consists of comparatively fewer pothole images

8[30]Vibration sensor-based methodIt can be implemented using smartphones with sensors(i) The results are with low accuracy
(ii) The vehicle’s suspension and speed affect the amplitude vibration and the accuracy

9[24]Machine learning (ML)-based approachLess computational and time complexity compared to deep learning models(i) Hand-picked feature extraction using traditional image processing methods
(ii) Machine learning models produce less accurate results than deep learning models

10[20]Image processing-based crack detectionCost-efficient and fast(i) There is only one form of damage found
(ii) This leads to a high error rate in the presence of poor illumination and distortion

11[25]Machine learning (ML)-based approachLess computational and time complexity compared to deep learning models(i) Only for pothole detection
(ii) The results of machine learning models are comparatively lower than the deep learning models

12[26]Encoder decoder architecture of SegNet DeepCrackThis can be used for edge detection and images and vessel detection in retina imagesThe accuracy can be improved; it produces a 0.87 F-measure
