Multi-Task Crack Foundation Model for Engineering-Reliable Crack Representation and Topology Preservation in Civil Infrastructure
arXiv:2606.05641v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Reliable crack assessment requires not only accurate pixel-level masks but also connected crack geometry and confidence estimates that remain stable under domain shift. However, existing segmentation models can achieve high overlap scores while fragmenting cracks, missing fine branches, and providing no calibrated uncertainty. To address this gap, this paper proposes CrackGeoFM, a multi-task framework that combines a frozen visual foundation...
If you cracked an egg by accident, is it still safe to eat? Experts weigh in
Many shoppers routinely open a carton of eggs at the grocery store to check for cracks before buying them. But what if an egg cracks later in the car, or while being transferred to the refrigerator at home — is it still safe to eat?"The short answer is no. Cracked eggs should be discarded," said Bill Marler, a food safety advocate and attorney based in Washington state.
Rethinking Efficient Crack Segmentation with Task-Aligned Structural-Directional Modeling
arXiv:2605.31048v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Recent crack segmentation methods often follow generic semantic segmentation designs, using stronger backbones, hybrid CNN-Transformer-Mamba encoders, and auxiliary enhancement branches. Although effective, this raises whether stronger generic feature mixing is the most suitable direction for crack segmentation. We instead formulate crack segmentation as sparse structural recovery.
Balancing Real and Synthetic Data for CNN-based Masonry Crack Detection
arXiv:2606.08033v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Cracks are a critical indicator of building health, and early stage identification is fundamental to prevent harmful damages. Advances in deep learning (DL), particularly convolutional neural networks (CNNs), have enabled scalable solutions for automated crack detection. However, CNN performance strongly depends on the availability of large and diverse datasets, which is particularly challenging for complex surfaces such as masonry.
Crack down on 'wild west' of illegal number plates 'not fit for purpose'
Crack down on 'wild west' of illegal number plates 'not fit for purpose' The British Number Plates Association (BNMA) has raised concerns about the number of illegal number plates on the road, which can lead to stolen identities and provide cover for serious crime Plans to crack down on counterfeit and tampered with number plates are “incredibly vague” and “not fit for purpose”, ministers have been warned. The British Number Plates Association (BNMA) has raised concerns about the number of...
Robust Lightweight Crack Classification for Real-Time UAV Bridge Inspection
Announce Type: replace Abstract: With the widespread application of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) in bridge structural health monitoring, deep learning-based automatic crack detection has become a major research focus. However, practical UAV inspections still face four key challenges: weak crack features, degraded imaging conditions, severe class imbalance, and limited computational resources for practical UAV inspection workflows. To address these issues, this paper proposes a unified...

'Inflation man has cracked the whip again': Cong slams PM Modi over commercial LPG price hike
The Congress party on Monday attacked the Centre after commercial LPG cylinder prices were increased by up to Rs 53.50 from June 1, accusing Prime Minister Narendra Modi of burdening people with rising costs. The opposition party alleged that 'Inflation Man Modi' had once again 'cracked the whip' by raising LPG prices. The attack came after the price of a 19-kg commercial LPG cylinder was increased across major cities.
Thailand cracks down on foreign companies using fig leaf of local ownership
Thailand cracks down on foreign companies using fig leaf of local ownership Thai authorities are ramping up enforcement of local ownership rules, stoking anxiety among foreign businesses. Bangkok, Thailand – On paper, it was registered as a nail salon. In reality, it was allegedly a front for an adult content business run by an Israeli woman through the subscription-based website OnlyFans.
As NZ cracks down on gang members, one pastor is trying to heal them
As New Zealand cracks down on gang members, one pastor is trying to heal them Sun 31 May 2026 at 6:20am In Aotearoa New Zealand, gang patches and other insignia are now banned in public. But in gang communities, identity is not so easy to erase. In Hawke's Bay, Mongrel Mob members have inked it into their skin.
