Abstract

Technological advances provide now the opportunity to automate the pavement distress assessment. This paper deals with an approach for achieving an automatic vision system for road surface classification. Road surfaces are composed of aggregates, which have a particular grain size distribution and a mortar matrix. From various physical properties and visual aspects, four road families are generated. We present here a tool using a pyramidal process with the assumption that regions or objects in an image rise up because of their uniform texture. Note that the aim is not to compute another statistical parameter but to include usual criteria in our method. In fact, the road surface classification uses a multiresolution cooccurrence matrix and a hierarchical process through an original intensity pyramid, where a father pixel takes the minimum gray level value of its directly linked children pixels. More precisely, only matrix diagonal is taken into account and analyzed along the pyramidal structure, which allows the classification to be made.
