Abstract :This paper focuses on an artificial intelligence based worn tire detection system proposed to detect cracks in the tires of vehicle drivers. Although drivers are generally aware of the importance of tire tread depth and air pressure, they are not aware of the risks associated with tire oxidation. However, tire oxidation and cracks can cause significant problems affecting driving safety. In this paper, we propose a new hybrid architecture for tire crack detection, CTLDF+EnC (Cascaded Transfer Learning Deep Features + Ensemble Classifiers), which uses deep features from pre-trained transfer learning methods in combination with ensemble learning methods. The proposed hybrid model utilizes features from nine transfer learning methods and classifiers including Stacking, Soft and Hard voting ensemble learning methods. Unlike X-Ray image-based applications for industrial use, the model proposed in this study can work with images obtained from any digital imaging device. Among the models proposed in the study, the highest test accuracy value was obtained as 76.92% with the CTLDF+EnC (Stacking) hybrid model. With CTLDF+EnC (Soft) and CTLDF+EnC (Solid) models, 74.15% and 72.92% accuracy values were obtained respectively. The results of the study show that the proposed hybrid models are effective in detecting tire problems. In addition, a low-cost and feasible structure is presented.
