Computer-Aided Road Inspection: Systems and Algorithms

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Recent Advances in Computer Vision Applications Using Parallel Processing

Part of the book series: Studies in Computational Intelligence ((SCI,volume 1073))

Abstract

Road damage is an inconvenience and a safety hazard, severely affecting vehicle condition, driving comfort, and traffic safety. The traditional manual visual road inspection process is pricey, dangerous, exhausting, and cumbersome. Also, manual road inspection results are qualitative and subjective, as they depend entirely on the inspector’s personal experience. Therefore, there is an ever-increasing need for automated road inspection systems. This chapter first compares the five most common road damage types. Then, 2-D/3-D road imaging systems are discussed. Finally, state-of-the-art machine vision and intelligence-based road damage detection algorithms are introduced.
