Image Analysis for Automated Pavement Cracking Evaluation
نویسندگان
چکیده
Image processing technology plays an important part in the analysis and evaluation of pavement surface cracking. The pattern recognition method for crack geometry proposed in this paper makes it possible to extract data necessary for evaluating the extent and severity of cracking quantitatively. In this newly developed method, low-resolution images are used first to extract crack regions, and then high-resolution images are used to identify the type of crack. The method proved to be effective when used for areas containing two or more types of crack.

A New Technique for Automatic Detection and Parameters Estimation of Pavement Crack
Pavement condition evaluation is a significant part of a good pavement management system for effective maintenance, rehabilitation, and reconstruction decision-making. One of the key components of pavement condition evaluation is the quantification of pavement distresses data. Cracking is the main form of early pavement distresses. Cracking of pavement affects road condition, driving comfort, t...

Manual surveys still represent the most widely used means for inspecting and evaluating pavements. Manual rating of pavements through windshield surveys to identify the types of surface cracking and other distresses leads to relatively slow evaluation. Furthermore, the survey crew must sometimes physically be in the travel lane to evaluate the pavement, exposing themselves to hazardous conditio...

In the purely theoretical approach of pavement design, percentage fatigue cracking is related to damage in a probabilistic manner according to the Miner’s law. Two methods that are currently widely in use are based on assumptions of damage distribution. One method assumes fatigue damage being normally distributed, while the other one assumes fatigue damage being lognormally distributed. Since m...

Finite element method in pavement analysis is a type of mechanistic analysis that has widely been used by road and transportation engineers these days. This method is used with related programs such as ABAQUS/CAE which is one of the powerful software on this task. Modeling in this software has been developed from 2D static models to 3D dynamic models which are closer to reality due to the more ...
