Abstract
The results of high-precision asphalt concrete pavement crack identification can provide help for pavement maintenance. Therefore, methods of image feature enhancement and crack identification of asphalt concrete pavement cracks are proposed. First of all, we used an industrial CCD camera mounted on a vehicle to collect an asphalt concrete pavement crack image. Then, after using the NeighShrink algorithm to denoise the acquired image, a fractional differential image enhancement algorithm was designed based on image feature blocks to enhance the image features. On this basis, crack characteristics were segmented and processed by watershed algorithm. Through crack direction identification and crack parameter extraction, crack distribution direction, crack length and width and other parameters of asphalt concrete pavement were obtained in order to achieve accurate identification of asphalt concrete pavement cracks. The experiment found that this method can effectively remove noise information from asphalt concrete crack images; after applying this method, the image entropy value of each image was improved, with a minimum improvement of 0.38 and a maximum improvement of 1.98. The time consumed by this method in identifying cracks in asphalt concrete pavement varied between 1.4 s and 2.4 s. When identifying the length of cracks in asphalt concrete pavement, the maximum deviation value was only 0.47 mm; when identifying the width of cracks in asphalt concrete pavement, the maximum deviation value was only 0.31 mm. The above results indicate that by enhancing the image features of asphalt concrete cracks, this method achieves more accurate identification results for crack distribution direction, length and width values, with high identification efficiency and good application effect.
