用AI加速μ子成像,1天数据质量媲美21天原始数据。

Muographic Image Upsampling with Machine Learning for Built Infrastructure Applications

  • 用条件WGAN-GP模型预测低采样率μ子图像的高分辨率细节。
  • 1天数据经处理后,视觉质量相当于21天采样,噪声等效于31天。
  • 可识别钢筋网格和预应力管道,有效消除成像模糊伪影。

土木工程行业亟需创新的无损检测技术,尤其针对老化桥梁等关键基础设施。μ子成像通过探测自然宇宙射线μ子在结构体内的相互作用,构建三维密度图,具有深穿透和固有安全性。但其依赖自然μ子通量,导致采集时间长、图像噪声大、解析困难。为此,我们提出两阶段深度学习方法:首先使用带梯度惩罚的条件WGAN-GP(cWGAN-GP)对低采样图像进行预测性上采样,1天采集数据经处理后,结构相似性指数(SSIM)达到21天样本水平,峰值信噪比(PSNR)表明降噪效果等效于31天采样;其次采用另一cWGAN-GP模型进行语义分割,精准识别钢筋网格与预应力管道,Dice-Sørensen系数分别为0.8174和0.8663,并能有效缓解因逆问题引起的z平面模糊伪影。所有模型基于包含真实基础设施场景的Geant4蒙特卡洛模拟数据集训练。结果表明,该方法显著提升成像速度与质量,推动μ子成像在钢筋混凝土结构监测中的实用化进程。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

The civil engineering industry faces a critical need for innovative non-destructive evaluation methods, particularly for ageing critical infrastructure, such as bridges, where current techniques fall short. Muography, a non-invasive imaging technique, constructs three-dimensional density maps by detecting interactions of naturally occurring cosmic-ray muons within the scanned volume. Cosmic-ray muons provide deep penetration and inherent safety due to their high momenta and natural source. However, the technology's reliance on this source results in constrained muon flux, leading to prolonged acquisition times, noisy reconstructions and image interpretation challenges. To address these limitations, we developed a two-model deep learning approach. First, we employed a conditional Wasserstein generative adversarial network with gradient penalty (cWGAN-GP) to perform predictive upsampling of undersampled muography images. Using the Structural Similarity Index Measure (SSIM), 1-day sampled images matched the perceptual qualities of a 21-day image, while the Peak Signal-to-Noise Ratio (PSNR) indicated noise improvement equivalent to 31 days of sampling. A second cWGAN-GP model, trained for semantic segmentation, quantitatively assessed the upsampling model's impact on concrete sample features. This model achieved segmentation of rebar grids and tendon ducts, with Dice-Sørensen accuracy coefficients of 0.8174 and 0.8663. Notably, it could mitigate or remove z-plane smearing artifacts caused by muography's inverse imaging problem. Both models were trained on a comprehensive Geant4 Monte-Carlo simulation dataset reflecting realistic civil infrastructure scenarios. Our results demonstrate significant improvements in acquisition speed and image quality, marking a substantial step toward making muography more practical for reinforced concrete infrastructure monitoring applications.
