TITLE: RDD2022: A multi-national image dataset for automatic Road Damage Detection 

ABSTRACT: The data article describes the Road Damage Dataset, RDD2022, which comprises
47,420 road images from six countries, Japan, India, the Czech Republic,
Norway, the United States, and China. The images have been annotated with more
than 55,000 instances of road damage. Four types of road damage, namely
longitudinal cracks, transverse cracks, alligator cracks, and potholes, are
captured in the dataset. The annotated dataset is envisioned for developing
deep learning-based methods to detect and classify road damage automatically.
The dataset has been released as a part of the Crowd sensing-based Road Damage
Detection Challenge (CRDDC2022). The challenge CRDDC2022 invites researchers
from across the globe to propose solutions for automatic road damage detection
in multiple countries. The municipalities and road agencies may utilize the
RDD2022 dataset, and the models trained using RDD2022 for low-cost automatic
monitoring of road conditions. Further, computer vision and machine learning
researchers may use the dataset to benchmark the performance of different
algorithms for other image-based applications of the same type (classification,
object detection, etc.).
