Retraction

Retraction: Recognition method of bridge apparent defects based on image processing and improved convolutional neural networks

  • The PLOS One Editors

The PLOS One Editors retract this article [1] because it was identified as one of a series of submissions for which we have concerns about potential manipulation of the publication process. These concerns call into question the validity and provenance of the reported results. We regret that the issues were not identified prior to the article’s publication.

All authors either did not respond directly or could not be reached.
