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.

Spot-the-Camel: Computer Vision for Safer Roads

arXiv · Apr 3

Researchers in Saudi Arabia are applying computer vision techniques to reduce Camel-Vehicle Collisions (CVCs). They tested object detection models including CenterNet, EfficientDet, Faster R-CNN, SSD, and YOLOv8 on the task, finding YOLOv8 to be the most accurate and efficient. Future work will focus on developing a system to improve road safety in rural areas.

Short-Term Traffic Forecasting Using High-Resolution Traffic Data

arXiv · Jun 22

Researchers developed a data-driven toolkit for short-term traffic forecasting using high-resolution traffic data from urban road sensors. The method models forecasting as a matrix completion problem, mapping inputs to a higher-dimensional space using kernels and adaptive boosting. Validated using real-world data from Abu Dhabi, UAE, the method outperforms state-of-the-art algorithms.
