The cracks arriving in the concrete surface due to atmospheric effects such as stains, climate etc. The aim of crack detection is to be monitored and identify the crack to prevent damage very effectively. The image can be processed and displayed by using image processing techniques. The crack detection is useful for predicting the level of damages on concrete surfaces. Conventional crack detection can be performed by manually sketches the pattern of cracks; however, such detecting algorithms had higher cost in nature. Then the automated detection of cracks techniques have been introduced to optimize the resources using image processing methods which concentrates on to maintain accuracy of the detected cracks as well as the time required for computation that is more useful for practical purpose of digital image. The boundaries of crack image on a concrete structure are detected by involving various easier algorithms used for image processing that includes the Pre-processing i.e. by using a simple filters to remove an unwanted noise and equalization is done through Histogram technique. Thus the proposed method is not much complex to execute and maintain the accuracy that implies the detection of crack on the concrete structure is very simple in practical life.
