Enhancing Pothole Detection and Characterization: Integrated Segmentation and Depth Estimation in Road Anomaly Systems

arXiv · Apr 18

Researchers at KFUPM have developed a system for pothole detection and characterization using a YOLOv8-seg model and depth estimation. A new dataset of images and depth maps was collected from roads in Al-Khobar, Saudi Arabia. The system combines segmentation and depth data to provide a more comprehensive pothole characterization, enhancing autonomous vehicle navigation and road maintenance.

YOLO26-RipeLoc Lite: A lightweight architecture for tomato ripeness detection and picking point localization in greenhouse robotic harvesting

arXiv · May 26

YOLO26-RipeLoc Lite is a new lightweight deep learning architecture designed for simultaneous detection, ripeness classification, and center-point localization of greenhouse tomatoes for robotic harvesting. The model incorporates a Lightweight Feature Pyramid Network, a Ripeness-Aware Attention Module, and a Compact Detection Head for efficient and precise operation. Evaluated on a custom dataset from the SILAL greenhouse in Abu Dhabi, UAE, it achieved a [email protected] of 92.9% with only 2.38 million parameters, outperforming existing YOLO models in accuracy-efficiency. Why it matters: This research provides an efficient and accurate solution for automating a critical agricultural process, enhancing food security and technological capabilities in the region's greenhouse farming.
