Pothole finding and reporting system

Abstract Accurate pothole detection in real-world environments is hindered by noise interference, limited severity assessment, and poor recognition of small and distant potholes. To address these challenges, this paper proposes a novel pothole finding and reporting system based on YOLOv10 integrated with the Lifting Wavelet Transform (LWT). YOLOv10 enables efficient multi-scale spatial feature learning for real-time detection, while LWT extracts robust multi-resolution texture in-formation that enhances sensitivity to subtle road surface irregularities. The fusion of spatial features and wavelet coefficients improves noise resilience, strengthens small and distant pothole detection, and facili-tates indirect severity characterization. Experimental evaluation con-ducted on publicly available road damage datasets demonstrates that the proposed approach achieves an accuracy of 96.8% and a mean Av-erage Precision (mAP) of 94.2%, outperforming conventional YOLO-based methods. Despite incorporating wavelet-based enhancement, the model remains computationally efficient with only 28.6 million param-eters, making it suitable for real-time deployment on edge and mobile devices. The proposed system offers a scalable and intelligent solution for smart road infrastructure monitoring.
