518 - 617 Computer Vision Project

Here are a few use cases for this project:

1. Highway Maintenance: This model can be used for automated defect detection on highways, roads, and streets. By identifying and classifying various defects such as cracks (represented with a "J", "D", "FI", and so on), the model can aid in preventive maintenance and repair planning.

2. City Infrastructure Monitoring: Municipal and urban planning bodies can use this model to monitor the state of the city roads and plan repairs as required. By utilizing the model across a network of CCTV cameras, a continuous update on road conditions can be maintained.

3. Autonomous Vehicles: Cars equipped with self-driving utilities can use this model in real-time to identify road defects and act accordingly. This may enhance safety and contribute to smoother rides.

4. Route Planning for Logistics Companies: Companies involved in transportation and logistics could use this model to monitor their frequently used routes and schedule preventative maintenance or route updates as necessary, thereby minimizing operational disruptions.

5. Smart Traffic Management Systems: This model might be incorporated into smart city infrastructure that dynamically optimizes traffic flow based on current road conditions, such as defects that could cause congestion.
