With the wide application of computer vision technology and deep-learning theory in engineering, the image-based detection of cracks in structures such as pipelines, pavements and dams has received more and more attention. Aiming at the problems of high cost, low efficiency and poor detection accuracy in traditional crack detection methods, this paper proposes a crack segmentation network by combining a morphological network and a multiple-loss mechanism. First, for improving the identification of cracks with different resolutions, the U-Net network is used to extract multi-scale features from the crack image. Second, for eliminating the effect of polarized light on the cracks under different illuminations, the extracted crack features are further morphologically processed by a white-top hat transform and a black-bottom hat transform. Finally, a multi-loss mechanism is designed to solve the problem of the inaccurate segmentation of cracks on a single scale. Extensive experiments are carried out on five open crack datasets: Crack500, CrackTree200, CFD, AEL and GAPs384. The experimental results showed that the average ODS, OIS, AIU, sODS and sOIS are 75.7%, 73.9%, 36.4%, 52.4% and 52.2%, respectively. Compared with state-of-the-art methods, the proposed method achieves better crack segmentation performance. Ablation experiments also verified the effectiveness of each module in the algorithm.
