Description

The “Pothole Image Segmentation Dataset” dataset contains 780 images annotated in Yolov8 format, focused on the detection and segmentation of potholes for road safety. The images are resized to 640x640 pixels and increased to enrich the training data.

What is this dataset for?

  • Train object segmentation models to detect potholes
  • Develop automatic road monitoring and maintenance systems
  • Improving road safety through the rapid and accurate detection of damage

Can it be enriched or improved?

This dataset can be enriched by adding images of different road conditions, other types of degradation, or by integrating additional annotations (e.g. finer segmentation, multiple categories). Increasing data and adding GPS metadata could also be considered.
