Road pothole detection from smartphone sensor data using improved LSTM by Singh, Prabhat, Kamal, Ahmed E., Bansal, Abhay, Kumar, Sunil

“…However, low accuracy in detecting the pothole in low-light conditions is taken as the main problem in this work. To address this issue, we presented an Improved Long Short Term Memory model (ILSTM) that combines a three-layer deep LSTM with a One-Dimensional Local Binary Pattern (1D-LBP) layer to detect the presence of potholes during low-light conditions and extract features such as the number of neighbouring samples and pixel values. …”
