UAV-PDD2023: A benchmark dataset for pavement distress detection based on UAV images.

Data Brief

School of Civil and Transportation Engineering, Hebei University of Technology, Tianjin 300401, China.

Published: December 2023

The UAV-PDD2023 dataset consists of pavement distress images captured by unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) in China with more than 11,150 instances under two different weather conditions and across varying levels of construction quality. The roads in the dataset consist of highways, provincial roads, and county roads constructed under different requirements. It contains six typical types of pavement distress instances, including longitudinal cracks, transverse cracks, oblique cracks, alligator cracks, patching, and potholes. The dataset can be used to train deep learning models for automatically detecting and classifying pavement distresses using UAV images. In addition, the dataset can be used as a benchmark to evaluate the performance of different algorithms for solving tasks such as object detection, image classification, etc. The UAV-PDD2023 dataset can be downloaded for free at the URL in this paper.

Bitumen exhibits viscoelastic properties, showcasing both viscous and elastic behaviors, which are characterized by the phase angle and dynamic modulus. Issues like early fatigue fractures, rutting, and permanent deformations in bituminous asphalt pavements arise due to moisture susceptibility, high-temperature deformation, low-temperature cracking, and overloading. These distresses result in potholes, alligator cracks, and specific deformations that lead to early pavement failure, increasing rehabilitation and maintenance costs.

Deep learning-based computer vision systems have become powerful tools for automated and cost-effective pavement distress detection, essential for efficient road maintenance. Current methods focus primarily on developing supervised learning architectures, which are limited by the scarcity of annotated image datasets. The use of data augmentation with synthetic images created by generative models to improve these supervised systems is not widely explored.

The conventional method for detecting road defects relies heavily on manual inspections, which are often inefficient and struggle with precise defect localization. This paper introduces a novel approach for identifying and locating road defects based on an enhanced ML-YOLO algorithm. By refining the YOLOv8 object detection framework, we optimize both the traditional convolutional layers and the spatial pyramid pooling network.

Accurate detection of asphalt pavement distress is crucial for road maintenance and traffic safety. However, traditional convolutional neural networks usually struggle with this task due to the varied distress patterns and complex background in the images. To enhance the accuracy of asphalt pavement distress identification across various scenarios, this paper introduces an improved model named SMG-YOLOv8, based on the YOLOv8s framework.
