Potholes have caused diverse problems such as wheel damage and car accident. A pothole detection technology is the most important to provide efficient pothole maintenance. The previous pothole detections have been performed by manual reporting methods. Thus, the problems caused by potholes have not been solved previously. Recently, many pothole detection systems based on video cameras have been studied, which can be implemented at low costs. In this paper, we propose a new pothole detection algorithm based on saliency map information in order to improve our previously developed algorithm. Our previous algorithm shows wrong detection with complicated situations such as the potholes overlapping with shades and similar surface textures with normal road surfaces. To address the problems, the proposed algorithm extracts more accurate pothole regions using the saliency map information, which consists of candidate extraction and decision. The experimental results show that the proposed algorithm shows better performance than our previous algorithm.

Potholes are caused by the presence of water in the underlying soil structure, which weakens the road pavement by expansion and contraction of water at freezing and thawing temperatures. Recently, automatic pothole detection systems have been studied, such as vibration-based methods and laser scanning methods. However, the vibration-based methods have low detection accuracy and limited detection area. Moreover, the costs for laser scanning-based methods are significantly high. Thus, in this paper, we propose a new pothole detection system using a commercial black-box camera. Normally, the computing power of a commercial black-box camera is limited. Thus, the pothole detection algorithm should be designed to work with the embedded computing environment of a black-box camera. The designed pothole detection algorithm has been tested by implementing in a black-box camera. The experimental results are analyzed with specific evaluation metrics, such as sensitivity and precision. Our studies confirm that the proposed pothole detection system can be utilized to gather pothole information in real-time.

Potholes are an important clue to the structural defects of asphalt pavement and cause many casualties and property damage. Therefore, accurate pothole detection is an important task in road surface maintenance. Many machine learning technologies are being introduced for pothole detection, and data preprocessing is required to increase the efficiency of deep learning models. In this paper, we propose a preprocessing method that emphasizes important textures and shapes in pothole datasets. The proposed preprocessing method uses intensity transformation to reduce unnecessary elements of the road and emphasize the texture and shape of the pothole. In addition, the feature of the porthole is detected using Superpixel and Sobel edge detection. Through performance comparison between the proposed preprocessing method and the existing preprocessing method, it is shown that the proposed preprocessing method is a more effective method than the existing method in detecting potholes.

Potholes that occur on paved roads can have fatal consequences for vehicles traveling at high speeds and may even lead to fatalities. While manual detection of potholes using human labor is commonly used to prevent pothole-related accidents, it is economically and temporally inefficient due to the exposure of workers on the road and the difficulty in predicting potholes in certain categories. Therefore, completely preventing potholes is nearly impossible, and even preventing their formation is limited due to the influence of ground conditions closely related to road environments. Additionally, labeling work guided by experts is required for dataset construction. Thus, in this paper, we utilized the Mean Teacher technique, one of the semi-supervised learning-based knowledge distillation methods, to achieve robust performance in pothole image classification even with limited labeled data. We demonstrated this using performance metrics and GradCAM, showing that when using semi-supervised learning, 15 pre-trained CNN models achieved an average accuracy of 90.41%, with a minimum of 2% and a maximum of 9% performance difference compared to supervised learning.

In this paper, we propose fully convolutional neural networks based automatic detection of a pothole that directly causes driver's safety accidents and the vehicle damage. First, the training DB is collected through the camera installed in the vehicle while driving on the road, and the model is trained in the form of a semantic segmentation using the fully convolutional neural networks. In order to generate robust performance in a dark environment, we augmented the training DB according to brightness, and finally generated a total of 30,000 training images. In addition, a total of 450 evaluation DB was created to verify the performance of the proposed automatic pothole detection, and a total of four experts evaluated each image. As a result, the proposed pothole detection showed robust performance for missing.

해킹사고가 증가하면서 시스템이 스캐닝(Scanning)당하는 사례도 증가하고 있다. 이는 해커들이 해킹의 전단계로 해킹하고자 하는 호스트(목적호스트)의 취약점을 파악하기 위하여 스캐닝하기 때문이다. 따라서 호스트가 스캐닝 당하는 것을 정확하게 탐지할 수 있다면 해킹이 이루어지는 것을 미연에 방지 할 수 있다. 또한 스캐닝 단계에서 해커는 목적호스트와 패킷을 계속 주고받아야함으로 자신의 IP 주소 등의 정보를 속이기 어렵다. 그래서 목적호스트는 차후 스캐닝한 해커의 IP를 이용해서 해커를 추적할 수도 있다. 하지만 기존의 스캐닝 대응 및 탐지방법은 이러한 정보를 사용하지 못하고 있다. 기존의 탐지 방법은 단순히 단시간 내에 발생하는 SIN, FIN패킷의 양을 바탕으로 스캐닝을 판단한다. 하지만 단시간 내에 대량의 패킷을 사용하여 스캐닝을 하는 경우는 대부분 홀을 이용한 경우이며 소량의 패킷만을 사용하여 스캐닝을 하는 경우는 탐지하지 못한다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 정교한 스캐닝을 탐지하기 위해서 들어온 패킷의 양이 적더라도 TCP 상태 다이어그램(TCP state diagram)의 순서에 맞지 않게 들어올 경우, 닫힌 포트로 들어오는 경우를 파악하여 스캐닝을 탐지하는 방법을 제시하고자 한다.

Drones are used in various fields, including land survey, transportation, forestry/agriculture, marine, environment, disaster prevention, water resources, cultural assets, and construction, as their industrial importance and market size have increased. In this study, image data for deep learning was collected using a mavic3 drone capturing images at a shooting altitude was 20 m with ×7 magnification. Swin Transformer and UperNet were employed as the backbone and architecture of the deep learning model. About 800 sheets of labeled data were augmented to increase the amount of data. The learning process encompassed three rounds. The Cross-Entropy loss function was used in the first and second learning; the Tversky loss function was used in the third learning. In the future, when the crack detection model is advanced through convergence with the Internet of Things (IoT) through additional research, it will be possible to detect patching or potholes. In addition, it is expected that real-time detection tasks of drones can quickly secure the detection of pavement maintenance sections.

In this paper, we propose an on-line mechanism that simultaneously detects cracks and profiling pavement blocks to detect the displacement of ground surface adjacent to the excavation in the urban area. The proposed method utilizes a 2D laser to profile the information about pavement blocks including the depth and distance among them. In particular, it is designed to enable the detection of cracks and portholes at runtime. For the experiment, real data was collected through Gocator, and trainng was carried out using Faster R-CNN. The performance evaluation shows that our detection precision and recall are more than 90% and the pavement blocks are profiled at the same time. Our proposed mechanism can be used for monitoring management to quantitatively detect the level of excavation risk before a large-scale ground collapse occurs.
