Abstract
Systems and methods is provided for road hazard analysis. The method includes obtaining sensor data of a road environment including a road and observable surroundings, and applying labels to the sensor data. The method further includes training a first neural network model to identify road hazards, training a second neural network model to identify faded lane markings, and training a third neural network model to identify overhanging trees and blocking foliage. The method further includes implementing the trained neural network models to detect road hazards in a real road setting.
