Abstract :
We present an image based automatic road crack detection method for achieving smooth driving on deformed roads. First, the road areas which include cracks are extracted as crack images analyzing the pixel variance of the road image. Then cracks are extracted from crack images by introducing a method on discriminant analysis. According to experiments using different road images, the new proposal is effective in detecting road cracks.
