EfficientDet Model for Accurate Detection and Classification of Road Damages in Indonesia

This electronic Road infrastructure is an important aspect that must be maintained to ensure public road safety. Traditional road damage detection methods are labor-intensive, costly, and inefficient, highlighting the need for an automated solution. By utilizing the EfficientDet model, we tried to assess the model’s performance in detecting and classifying diverse types of road damage in Indonesia. After that, we leverage a built-in data augmentation technique to improve the model’s succession. We achieved the best result with the validation F1 Score of 59.7%, bypassing the performance of the previous work. The moderate performance of the model is caused by the complexity in learning road damages features and challenges in generalizing on unseen data.
