DroneGIS (prev.ATLAS) | Locating defects of the road surface
July 28, 2020

One of the goals was to filter small single cracks not affecting significantly road quality and only pay attention to bigger areas.

Road maintenance is a complex task requiring:

  • Localization of defect areas
  • Counting approximate area sizes for repair
  • Planning sufficient but not excessive material and human resources

Process:

  • Survey mission planned with UgCS
  • Drone: DJI Phantom 4
  • Map storage and processing: DroneGIS
  • Manual annotation: approx. 15 minutes
  • Initial machine learning detector's training in DroneGIS cloud: approx. 50 minutes

Result:

  • Shareable web-map with marked defects in DroneGIS
  • Report with georeferenced areas in GeoJSON


Here is an example of how areas with cracked asphalt can be identified with Atlas: CASE#1
