PC3D-YOLO: An Enhanced Multi-Scale Network for Crack Detection in Precast Concrete Components by Zichun Kang, Kedi Gu, Andrew Yin Hu, Haonan Du, Qingyang Gu, Yang Jiang, Wenxia Gan

“…To address these limitations, we propose PC3D-YOLO, an enhanced framework derived from YOLOv11, which strengthens long-range dependency modeling through multi-scale feature integration, offering a novel approach for crack detection in precast concrete structures. Our methodology involves three key innovations: (1) the Multi-Dilation Spatial-Channel Fusion with Shuffling (MSFS) module, employing dilated convolutions and channel shuffling to enable global feature fusion, replaces the C3K2 bottleneck module to enhance long-distance dependency capture; (2) the AIFI_M2SA module substitutes the conventional SPPF to mitigate its restricted receptive field and information loss, incorporating multi-scale attention for improved near-far contextual integration; (3) a redesigned neck network (MSCD-Net) preserves rich contextual information across all feature scales. …”
