Abstract
In this study, we propose an algorithm to improve the accuracy of tiny object segmentation for precise pothole detection on asphalt pavements. The approach comprises a three-step process: MOED, VAPOR, and Exception Processing, designed to extract pothole edges, validate the results, and manage detected abnormalities. The proposed algorithm addresses the limitations of previous methods and offers several advantages, including wider coverage. We experimentally evaluated the performance of the proposed algorithm by filming roads in various regions of South Korea using a UAV at high altitudes of 30-70 m. The results show that our algorithm outperforms previous methods in terms of instance segmentation performance for small objects such as potholes. Our study offers a practical and efficient solution for pothole detection and contributes to road safety maintenance and monitoring.
