PARNet: The Crack Detection Network That Learned to See Like a Human Inspector — and Then Outperformed Eight of Them

Complete PARNet Implementation (PyTorch)

The implementation below is a complete, self-contained PyTorch reproduction of the full PARNet pipeline: the DeepCrackNet CNN encoder with residual blocks, the Swin Transformer encoder via pretrained timm weights, the Dynamic Feature Alignment (DFA) module with spatial attention mask and global context channel attention, the Residual Feature Fusion (RFF) module with 1×1 channel alignment and 3×3 residual refinement, the multi-scale decoder with four side outputs, and the sigmoid binary cross-entropy loss. A smoke test validates forward pass correctness with synthetic inputs.
