Q., Batista, V. F., Villarrubia Gonzalez, G., & De Paz Santana, J. F. (2023). Automated Road Damage Detection Using UAV Images and Deep Learning Techniques. IEEE Access, 11, 62918-62931. https://doi.org/10.1109/ACCESS.2023.3287770 2169-3536 http://hdl.handle.net/10366/161506 [EN]This paper presents a novel automated road damage detection approach using Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) images and deep learning techniques. Maintaining road infrastructure is critical for ensuring a safe and sustainable transportation system. However, the manual collection of road damage data can be labor-intensive and unsafe for humans. Therefore, we propose using UAVs and Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies to improve road damage detection’s efficiency and accuracy significantly. Our proposed approach utilizes three algorithms, YOLOv4, YOLOv5, and YOLOv7, for object detection and localization in UAV images. We trained and tested these algorithms using a combination of the RDD2022 dataset from China and a Spanish road dataset. The experimental results demonstrate that our approach is efficient and achieves 59.9% mean average precision mAP@.5 for the YOLOv5 version, 65.70% mAP@.5 for a YOLOv5 model with a Transformer Prediction Head, and 73.20% mAP@.5 for the YOLOv7 version. These results demonstrate the potential of using UAVs and deep learning for automated road damage detection and pave the way for future research in this field. eng Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 Internacional Drones Inspection Deep learning Monitoring UAV Road damage detection Deep learning Object-detection Automated Road Damage Detection Using UAV Images and Deep Learning Techniques info:eu-repo/semantics/other 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 URL https://gredos.usal.es/bitstream/10366/161506/1/Automated_Road_Damage_Detection_Using_UAV_Images_and_Deep_Learning_Techniques.pdf File MD5 b32c98ebd256107f209853dbec8bf295 4249384 application/pdf Automated_Road_Damage_Detection_Using_UAV_Images_and_Deep_Learning_Techniques.pdf URL https://gredos.usal.es/bitstream/10366/161506/4/Automated_Road_Damage_Detection_Using_UAV_Images_and_Deep_Learning_Techniques.pdf.txt File MD5 76bd84b170ba29eafbba41589bed683d 67188 text/plain Automated_Road_Damage_Detection_Using_UAV_Images_and_Deep_Learning_Techniques.pdf.txt
