RoadDamageVision: Annotated Dataset of Road Damage Images
Listed in Teesside University Research Data Repository
Research Hypothesis and Dataset Description This dataset was developed under the hypothesis that deep learning and computer vision techniques can be effectively used to detect and classify various types of road surface defects from drone-based visual data.
Description
By providing annotated images captured in different countries and environments using aerial platforms, the RoadDamageVision dataset supports the development of scalable, low-cost, and automated road monitoring systems.
Data Overview and Collection Process The dataset consists of annotated images of road surfaces showing visible damage. All images were captured using drones in both China and Spain, enabling aerial perspectives that provide a wide field of view and are suitable for large-scale infrastructure inspection. The imagery includes a variety of road environments, including urban, suburban, and rural settings.

Each image was manually annotated with bounding boxes and class labels for six types of road defects: D00: Longitudinal cracks D10: Transverse cracks D20: Alligator cracks D40: Potholes Repair: Previously repaired surfaces Block Crack: Block-type cracks The annotations were standardized to facilitate training and evaluation of object detection models. The dataset includes a total of 7,647 labeled instances of road damage.
The most common defect is D40 (potholes), with 3,566 instances, primarily found in the Spanish dataset. In contrast, D10 and D20 appear only in the Chinese imagery. This difference in class distribution provides an opportunity to explore domain adaptation and class imbalance mitigation in model training.
