Rethinking Efficient Crack Segmentation with Task-Aligned Structural-Directional Modeling

Shipeng Liu, Liang Zhao, Dengfeng Chen, Weihua Zhang

Xi’an University of Architecture and Technology

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. Cracks have limited category-level semantics but strong morphological regularities, being thin, sparse, anisotropic, locally fragmented, and easily confused with textures or shadows. Thus, the key bottleneck lies in preserving weak structural evidence, recovering directional continuity, and suppressing background coupling. We propose RIFT, a compact family of morphology-aligned crack segmentation models. Rather than compressing a complex generic architecture, RIFT is simple by design, preserving local evidence, aggregating cooperative directional continuity, and restoring crack structures through lightweight multi-scale fusion. Experiments on four public benchmarks show that RIFT achieves the best or tied-best results across the 16 main metrics against reproduced representative baselines. RIFT-B gives the strongest overall accuracy, while RIFT-T provides the best deployment efficiency with only 0.47M parameters and high inference speed. Topology-aware evaluation, ablations, transfer experiments, and visualizations further verify that task-aligned simplicity can match or surpass complex hybrid architectures when its inductive bias fits crack morphology.
