iWatchRoad system uses YOLO to detect and map potholes for smart cities

Researchers have developed iWatchRoad, an end-to-end system designed for the scalable detection and geospatial visualization of potholes. The system utilizes a fine-tuned YOLO model for real-time pothole identification and an OCR module to extract timestamps from dashcam footage. This data is then synchronized with GPS logs to accurately geotag detected potholes, with all information visualized on a user-friendly web interface using OpenStreetMap. AI
