Abstract: Ground penetrating radar technology has been widely used in tunnel lining disease detection, for ground penetrating radar B-Scan image interpretation, many deep learning algorithms have emerged in recent years, but YOLOv7 algorithm has not been applied in this field. In this paper, the cavities and leakage water diseases of tunnel lining are simulated through FDTD forward performance, and 12 measuring lines in the tunnel are collected on the spot to analyze their disease distribution, so as to form the tunnel lining disease dataset, and then, based on the YOLOv7 algorithm, different image features of the two types of diseases are used to realize the automatic interpretation of tunnel lining diseases. The results show that the target detection algorithm of YOLOv7 is used to identify the overall disease with accuracy and recall rate of 97.87% and 90.61%, respectively. When the threshold IoU is 0.5, the identification accuracy of cavitation disease and leakage water disease is 97.2% and 96.4%, respectively. Finally, 100 images were randomly selected for testing, and the accuracy of the test results reached 94%. The final experimental identification results can be well used in production projects.
