# Car Damage Segmentation Model (YOLOv11-seg)

This model detects and segments six types of vehicle damage: cracks, dents, glass shatter, broken lamps, scratches, and flat tires. Fine-tuned on the CarDD dataset, it provides precise damage localization and segmentation to support vehicle inspection and repair estimation.

## Model Details

- **Architecture**: YOLOv11-seg
- **Base Model**: yolo11x-seg.pt
- **Task**: Instance Segmentation
- **Domain**: Automotive Damage Assessment
- **Framework**: Ultralytics YOLOv11

### Training Recipe for Car Damage Segmentation

- `imgsz=1024`: Higher resolution critical for detecting small damage features like fine cracks and scratches

- `optimizer='AdamW'`: Provides better convergence for fine-grained segmentation tasks compared to SGD

- `dropout=0.1`: Light regularization prevents overfitting while preserving ability to detect subtle damage features

- `multi_scale=True`: Enhances model robustness to different damage sizes and viewing distances

- `warmup_epochs=10`: Extended warmup period stabilizes early training on complex damage patterns

- `overlap_mask=True`: Improves segmentation quality for irregular damage shapes with complex boundaries


##### `cls=0.3`

• Reduced classification weight prioritizes boundary precision over class distinction

• Similar visual appearance between damage types (scratches vs. cracks)

• Prevents overfitting to specific damage classes

• Improves localization and segmentation accuracy

##### `dfl=1.7`

• Increased DFL for better segmentation of irregular damage boundaries

• Addresses complex boundaries of car damage shapes

• Improves bounding box precision

• Effective for elongated damages like scratches


## Dataset

The model was trained on the CarDD (Car Damage Detection) dataset with:
- 571 images
- 1247 total damage instances
- Class distribution: scratches (482), dents (366), cracks (152), broken lamps (103), glass shatter (91), and flat tires (53)

# Sort by false positive count

    F("yolo_predictions.detections").length(), reverse=True

# Launch the app with this view
session = fo.launch_app(sorted_view)
```

## Limitations

- Lower recall for crack detection (36.8%)
- Performance varies across damage types
- Small or fine damages may be missed
- Best results with well-lit, clear images of vehicles
