IMAGE-PROCESSING TECHNIQUES APPLIED TO ROAD PROBLEMS

A study is reported in which image processing applications were reviewed and investigations were performed to assess the potential of applying digital imaging techniques to road problems. Several selected feasibility-assessment areas were considered. The major areas covered here are as follows: road-surface features and defects (adaptive texture classification); classification of vehicles (lateral profile); speed measurements (line-scan camera); number-plate recognition (moment methods of number recognition); and areal mensuration (aggregate sieve calibration was the example). Each of these areas is discussed in detail in this paper.
