Real-Time Pothole Detection During Rainy Weather Using Dashboard Cameras for Driverless Cars

Abstract

The primary form of transportation is roads. But because of the high volume of traffic on the roads and other environmental conditions, regular maintenance is required. This maintenance is frequently neglected as it is impossible to watch over every location, or just out of ignorance. Potholes are created as a result, which increases traffic and increases the likelihood of accidents. However, there are many methods/systems available which can be used to detect potholes using various image processing methods. The accuracy of these systems is highly affected in rainy weather. In this chapter, a system is designed to detect pothole during rainy season effectively. This system also collects the location of potholes, which can be further provided to authorities for maintenance work. The proposed system can be used for driverless cars.
