YOLO-Defect: A New Multi-Scale YOLO-Based Deep Neural Network with Feature Enhancement for Multiclass Bridge Surface Defect Detection

Bridges continuously face traffic pressure and environmental influences, leading to surface defects that need accurate detection for optimized maintenance and sustainability. The appearance and shape of bridge surface defects vary greatly, and multiple overlapping defects can occur in small ar...
