Depth-Aware Pothole Detection Using YOLO and RT-DETR at the Edge

arXiv · AI, language, vision and robotics · article · Aug 27, 2026 · UTC

Pothole detection and its severity measurement is still an important challenges in urban infrastructure management, where late maintenance directly contributes to vehicle damage, road accidents, and escalating repair costs. Existing automated approaches depend on 2D RGB images and cannot measure physical depth of potholes. In this paper, we present a depthaware pothole detection framework and then compare five architectures: YOLOv8n, YOLOv8nSeg, YOLOv9t, RTDETRL, and RTDETRX for RGB-D sensor fusion-based detection and automated depth measurement. A custom offline augmentation pipeline is used
