• Abstract: As urbanization speeds up and traffic flow increases, the issue of pavement distress is becoming increasingly pronounced, posing a severe threat to road safety and service life. Traditional methods of pothole detection rely on manual inspection, which is not only inefficient but also costly. This paper proposes an intelligent road crack detection and analysis system, based on the enhanced YOLOv8 deep learning framework. A target segmentation model has been developed through the training of 4029 images, capable of efficiently and accurately recognizing and segmenting crack regions in roads. The model also analyzes the segmented regions to precisely calculate the maximum and minimum widths of cracks and their exact locations. Experimental results indicate that the incorporation of ECA and CBAM attention mechanisms substantially enhances the model's detection accuracy and efficiency, offering a novel solution for road maintenance and safety monitoring.

  We show that road obstacle detection techniques ignore the fact that, in practice, the apparent size of the obstacles decreases as their distance to the vehicle increases. We leverage this by computing a scale map encoding the apparent size of a hypothetical object at every image location. We then leverage this perspective map to generate training data by injecting onto the road synthetic objects whose size corresponds to the perspective foreshortening.
