Abstract In order to efficiently inspect rapidly increasing old tunnels in many well-developed countries, many inspection methodologies have beenproposed using imaging equipment and image processing. However, most of the existing methodologies evaluated their performance on a clean concretesurface with a limited area where other objects do not exist. Therefore, this paper proposes a 6-step framework for tunnel crack detection deep learningmodel development. The proposed method is mainly based on negative sample (non-crack object) training and Cascade Mask R-CNN. The proposedframework consists of six steps: searching for cracks in images captured from real tunnels, labeling cracks in pixel level, training a deep learning model,collecting non-crack objects, retraining the deep learning model with the collected non-crack objects, and constructing final training dataset. Toimplement the proposed framework, Cascade Mask R-CNN, an instance segmentation model, was trained with 1561 general crack images and 206non-crack images. In order to examine the applicability of the trained model to the real-world tunnel crack detection, field testing is conducted ontunnel spans with a length of about 200m where electric wires and lights are prevalent. In the experimental result, the trained model showed 99%precision and 92% recall, which shows the excellent field applicability of the proposed framework.
