| description | Road damage often includes potholes, cracks, lane degradation, and surface shading. Potholes are a common problem in pavements. Detecting them is crucial for maintaining infrastructure and ensuring public safety. A thorough assessment of pavement conditions is required before planning any preventive repairs. Herein, we report the use of transfer learning and deep learning (DL) models to preprocess digital images of pavements for better pothole detection. Fourteen models were evaluated, including MobileNet, MobileNetV2, NASNetMobile, DenseNet121, DenseNet169, InceptionV3, DenseNet201, ResNet152V2, EfficientNetB0, InceptionResNetV2, Xception, and EfficientNetV2M. The study introduces a modified MobileNetV2 (MMNV2) model designed for fast and efficient feature extraction. The MMNV2 model exhibits improved classification, detection, and prediction accuracy by adding a five-layer pre-trained network to the MobileNetV2 framework. It combines deep learning, deep neural networks (DNN), and transfer learning, which resulted in better performance compared to other models. The MMNV2 model was tested using a dataset of 5,000 pavement images. A learning rate of 0.001 was used to optimize the model. It classified images into ‘normal’ or ‘pothole’ categories with 99.95% accuracy. The model also achieved 100% recall, 99.90% precision, 99.95% F1-score, and a 0.05% error rate. The MMNV2 model uses fewer parameters while delivering better results. It offers a promising solution for real-world applications in pothole detection and pavement assessment. |
