New framework uses YOLO and RT-DETR for depth-aware pothole detection

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Researchers have developed a depth-aware pothole detection framework that utilizes RGB-D sensors for improved accuracy. The study compared five different architectures, including YOLOv8n, YOLOv8nSeg, YOLOv9t, RTDETRL, and RTDETRX, on a custom dataset. YOLOv8nSeg demonstrated the highest mean average precision (mAP) and the most accurate depth estimation, while YOLOv8n offered the fastest inference times. AI

IMPACT This research advances computer vision techniques for infrastructure monitoring, potentially improving road maintenance and safety.
