# Dataset Card for RDD_2020
The RDD2020 dataset is a comprehensive collection of 26,336 road images from India, Japan, and the Czech Republic, annotated with over 31,000 instances of road damages. This dataset is designed to support the development and evaluation of machine learning models for automatic road damage detection, offering a valuable resource for municipalities and road agencies for efficient road condition monitoring.

## Uses

<!-- Address questions around how the dataset is intended to be used. -->

### Direct Use

<!-- This section describes suitable use cases for the dataset. -->

RDD2020 dataset can be directly used for developing and benchmarking machine learning models aimed at automatic detection and classification of road damages. This includes developing new deep learning architectures or modifying existing ones to improve detection accuracy across different types of road damages

## Dataset Creation

### Curation Rationale

<!-- Motivation for the creation of this dataset. -->




#### Data Collection and Processing

<!-- This section describes the data collection and processing process such as data selection criteria, filtering and normalization methods, tools and libraries used, etc. -->

[More Information Needed]

#### Who are the source data producers?

<!-- This section describes the people or systems who originally created the data. It should also include self-reported demographic or identity information for the source data creators if this information is available. -->

[More Information Needed]

### Annotations [optional]

<!-- If the dataset contains annotations which are not part of the initial data collection, use this section to describe them. -->
Each image in the dataset comes with corresponding XML files containing annotations in PASCAL VOC format. These annotations describe the location and type of road damages present in the images, categorized into four main types: Longitudinal Cracks (D00), Transverse Cracks (D10), Alligator Cracks (D20), and Potholes (D40).
#### Annotation process

<!-- This section describes the annotation process such as annotation tools used in the process, the amount of data annotated, annotation guidelines provided to the annotators, interannotator statistics, annotation validation, etc. -->
