StreetSurfaceVis: a dataset of crowdsourced street-level imagery annotated by road surface type and quality by Alexandra Kapp, Edith Hoffmann, Esther Weigmann, Helena Mihaljević

“…As the frequency distribution of road surface types and qualities is highly imbalanced, we propose a sampling strategy incorporating various external label prediction resources to ensure sufficient images per class while reducing manual annotation. More precisely, we estimate the impact of (1) enriching the image data with OpenStreetMap tags, (2) iterative training and application of a custom surface type classification model, (3) amplifying underrepresented classes through prompt-based classification with GPT-4o and (4) similarity search using image embeddings. …”
