Automatic Pavement Distress Detection

Research Question:  How can we detect Pavement Distress Iterative Optimized Patch Label Inference Network? 

Potholes and other pavement disease is rampant throughout the vast networks of roadways that now connect our cities.  It quickly becomes a daunting task to identify areas of distress in the countless miles of roadways the department of transportation is given charge of.  In this paper, we explore the implementation of CNNs to not only identify, but classify, pavement disease.  This is an extremely useful tool for those professionals given the task of identifying hot-spot regions which require attention from maintenance crews.
