Abstract

Early detection and measurement of the distresses are necessary to keep the pavement functions at an acceptable level and to pledge the safety users. The use of digital photography in order to record pavement images and, later, to identify the surface distresses has undergone continuous improvements during recent years. Image measurement methods are effortless, safe, and can be performed in a short time. In this paper, an image processing measurement is presented to locate potholes and cracks on the pavement surface through pictures by drone.
