+# SurfaceAI: pipeline for surface type and quality classification of road networks
+
+This repository provides the models weights and parameters for the SurfaceAI pipeline.
+The model version specified in the config file of the pipeline are automatically downloaded from this repo during the execution of the code, if not already available locally.
+
+Find the [paper](https://dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/3681780.3697277) of this publication and the [code](https://github.com/SurfaceAI/road_network_classification) here.
+
+This is part of the SurfaceAI project at the University of Applied Sciences, HTW Berlin.
+
+
+**Content**: The models are sorted in folders according to version.
+Each version folder contains all models required for the pipeline and, if applicable, documentation of the training parameters.
+The current version is v1.
