YOLO26-RD: An End-to-End Road Damage Detection Network With Learnable Contrast Enhancement and Edge-Guided Downsampling

Pavement distress detectors are conventionally specialised for small objects, typically by adding a stride-4 detection head and replacing strided convolution with space-to-depth downsampling. This paper tests that premise against the annotation geometry of region level survey imagery and finds it fails: 1.28% of instan...
