Building a Community Issue Detection System Using Vehicle Video Feeds and How I Accelerated Development with RocketRide

I built a system that detects community infrastructure issues like potholes, road cracks, and debris using video feeds from vehicles. The pipeline processes dashcam/autonomous vehicle footage, extracts frames, runs CV based detection, and aggregates results over time to reduce noise. Each detection is mapped with metadata to help visualize problem areas on a simple dashboard. The hardest part wasn’t the model itself it was iterating quickly. Small changes in preprocessing, thresholds, or trackin
