  • AI-driven automatic crack detection
  • Precise length and width measurement
  • Damage-ratio visualization across road segments
  • Automatic face and license-plate blurring
  • Multi-model support with switchable models
  • AWS cloud-ready, scalable processing
  • Explainable AI

技術的課題と解決策 Technical Challenges & Solutions

Non-Standard Camera Conditions (Dashcam Problem)

Camera angles, mounting positions, and resolutions vary by vehicle, producing inconsistent image quality that degrades detection accuracy.

Solution

Combined literature research with multiple approaches and exposed flexible configuration options. A preprocessing pipeline normalizes images across environments.

Missing Metadata (GPS / Camera)

Input footage lacked GPS and camera parameters, limiting position and distance-measurement accuracy.

Solution

Fine-tuned pretrained models, collaborated with customers to fill in data gaps, and built fallback estimation logic for missing fields.

Dataset Scarcity & Licensing

Commercially-usable road-crack datasets were extremely limited.

Solution

Generated and augmented proprietary datasets on top of public ones, with rigorous license auditing of every source.
