INTRODUCTION
Digital image processing means processing digital image by means of
a digital computer.
Use of computer algorithms, in order to get enhanced image either to
extract some useful information.
Processing of image data for storage,transmission and representation
for autonomous machine perception.
DIGITAL IMAGE
An image is defined as a two dimensional function F(x,y) , where x
and y are spatial coordinates and the amplitude of F at any pair of
coordinate (x,y) is called the intensity of that image at that point.
When x,y and amplitude values of F are finite it is called digital image
A digital image can be represented as a matrix.
Digital image is composed of a finite number of elements, each of
which elements have a particular value at particular location.
These elements are referred to as pixels or image elements.
TYPES OF IMAGE
Binary Images- Contain only two pixel elements i.e 0 & 1 ,where 0
refers to black and 1 refers to white. The image is also known as
Monochrome.
TYPES OF IMAGE
(Contd…)
8 bit colour format – It has 256 different shades of colours and
commonly known as Grayscale image.In this format 0 stands for Black
and 255 stands for white and 127 stands for gray.
16 bit colour format – It has 65,536 different colours. This format is
divided into three further formats which are Red, Green, Blue. That
famous RGB format.
STEPS TO DETECT TO
PAVEMENT FAILURES
1. Image Acquisition
2. Image Enhancement
3. Image Preprocessing
4. Image Thresholding
5. Failure Detection & Parameter Estimation
Image Acquisition
1) Hay Aldauls – 07 : 14 pm
2) University of Tripoli - 05: 56 pm
c) Janzur – 07: 08 pm 3) Janzur – 07 : 08 pm
4) Al Seyaheyya – 07 : 54 pm
CASE STUDY 1
(Contd…)
Otsu’s Method
Otsu’s method is used for thresholding.
The approach separates the pixels within an image into two groups.
ω and σ represent the ratio of the number of pixels and the average gray level for
the object. ω 1 and μ 1 represent the parameters for the background.
Total Mean Gray Level: Defined by the equation
𝜎^2(𝑡)=𝜔0(𝑡)𝜎^2(𝑡)+𝜔1(𝑡)𝜎^2(𝑡)
where 𝑡 denotes a gray level of the image.
In threshold value where the sum of foreground and background spreads is
minimized.
The gray level 𝑡 corresponding to the maximal value of σ w is chosen for image
binarization.
CASE STUDY 1
(Contd…)
Inference
There is a noticeable error between the proposed technique and the traditional
method.
It may be due to the scale and ruler segmentation.
The technique is noted for its efficient processing time , with an average total
time per sample being around 4.190 seconds
CASE STUDY 2
This study were conducted in Baghdad ,Iraq.
The image were captured from a GoPro 8 hero camera
Camera is positioned with an angle of 90 degree and a height of 1.10 m.
The image must be in jpg format.
8 samples were collected.
CASE STUDY 2 (Contd…)
The noise reduction is done by Gaussian Blur.
Gaussian Blur - It is a non-uniform low pass filters
that preserves low spatial frequency.
The image is convert from RGB to grayscale to
neutralize colors.
Resized to 200x200 pixels.
Hysteresis Thresholding – it requires minval &
maxval
Pixels with intensity gradient of the edges greater
than the maxval are guaranteed to the edges
The intensity gradient less than minval are non-
edges and it is eliminated
CASE STUDY 2 (Contd…)
The manual assesmet was conducted by a
committee of three expert engineers in the
maintenance department of the Mayoralty of
Baghdad on a highway in the Baghdad city.
The percentage of accuracy result of distress
detection for this case study is 88.4% .
The time needed to finish the manual assessment
was about 23 hrs and automated way was about 3
hrs.
CASE STUDY 2
(Contd…)
Inference
The automated system showed higher accuracy and consistency in detecting
pavement distress when compared to manual assessments.
Implementing AEOP can improve the efficiency and safety of pavement
condition assesments.
The system provides a real- time results , which can help in timely maintenance
and repairs ,reducing the overall cost and enhancing road safety.
CONCLUSION
The application of digital image processing to detect pavement failure
represents a significant advancement in the field of infrastructure maintenance
and management.
It provides a non-destructive, efficient, and cost-effective means to continuously
monitor and assess pavement conditions.
The ability to analyze large volumes of data quickly and accurately ensures timely
identification of failures, enabling proactive maintenance and reducing the risk of
severe deterioration and costly repairs.
The integration of machine learning and artificial intelligence enhances the
capability of digital image processing systems, allowing for the automatic
detection and classification of different types of pavement distresses.
