Powered by general detection model

Code
pip install inference-sdk
# 1. Import the library
from inference_sdk import InferenceHTTPClient

# 2. Connect to your workspace
client = InferenceHTTPClient(
  api_url="https://serverless.roboflow.com",
  api_key="API_KEY"
)

# 3. Run your workflow on an image
result = client.run_workflow(
  workspace_name="<YOUR_WORKSPACE>",
  workflow_id="<YOUR_WORKFLOW_ID>",
  images={
    "image": "YOUR_IMAGE.jpg"  # Path to your image file
  },
  parameters={
    "classes": "0, 1, 2, 3, 4"
  },
  use_cache=True  # cache workflow definition for 15 minutes
)

# 4. Get your results

About Pothole Detection Model

Here are a few use cases for this project:

  1. Road Maintenance Planning: Using the Pothole Detection model, city planners and public works departments can identify roads with varying degrees of pothole severity, allowing them to prioritize and schedule road repair projects more efficiently.

  2. Vehicle Safety and Damage Prevention: Fleet management companies, transportation service providers, and car rental businesses can utilize the model to identify routes with a higher number of potholes and adjust their routing accordingly to minimize vehicle wear and tear and avoid potential damages.

  3. Infrastructure Health Monitoring & Assessments: Government agencies or engineering consultants can use the model to analyze and monitor the overall condition of road infrastructure, helping them make informed decisions about construction budgets, maintenance strategies, and long-term improvement plans.

  4. Accident Risk Reduction: Traffic safety organizations can use the Pothole Detection model to identify areas with a higher risk of accidents due to potholes, enabling them to take necessary precautions such as road signage, temporary speed limits, and public awareness campaigns.

  5. Insurance Claim Analysis: Insurance companies can incorporate the pothole information obtained using the model when evaluating accident claims related to road conditions, helping them validate claims and identify potential fraud.
