However, due to the noisy pavement surfaces, limited success was accomplished. One major issue with pure video based systems is their inability to discriminate dark areas not caused by pavement distress such as tire marks, oil spills, shadows, and recent fillings. To overcome the limitation of the conventional imaging based methods, novel pavement inspection approaches based on both 2-dimensional (2D) and 3-dimensional (3D) information are proposed in this thesis. Techniques such as 2D feature extraction, morphological operations, artificial neural networks, and 3D model reconstruction are utilized successively within the research. The primary goal of this study is to integrate conventional image processing techniques with stereovision technology to provide a full dimensional visualization of the pavement surface. With segmentation results from the 2D images and depth information estimated by 3D reconstruction, the detailed topological structure of the road defects can be accurately obtained. Simulation results show the proposed system is effective and robust on a variety of pavement surfaces. 2010 English text University of Toledo / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=toledo1289874675 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=toledo1289874675 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
