Automated systems for road crack detection are extremely important in road maintenance for vehicle safety and traveler’s comfort. Emerging cracks in roads need to be detected and accordingly repaired as early as possible to avoid further damage thus reducing rehabilitation cost. In this paper, a robust method for Gabor filter parameters optimization for automatic road crack detection is discuss...

A RGO IS THE EXPERIMENTAL autonomous vehicle developed at the Department of Information Engineering of the University of Parma, Italy. It is a passenger car with a vision-based system for extracting road and environmental information from the acquired images, using different output devices to test the automatic features. ARGO integrates the main results of our last few years’ research on algori...

The automatic extraction of road features from remote sensed images has been a topic of great interest within the photogrammetric and remote sensing communities for over 3 decades. Although various techniques have been reported in the literature, it is still challenging to efficiently extract the road details with the increasing of image resolution as well as the requirement for accurate and up...

Automatic road map updating has been one of the difficult and important research topics in the community of geomatics. An operational road map updating system should include three key components: the generation of a new version of roads, the automatic road change detection/updating and the spatio-temporal modelling of road data. Special considerations have to be given to the spatio-temporal mod...

This paper describes a semi-automatic system for road verification from high resolution orthophotos in an urban context. The system combines several road detection and road verification approaches from current literature to form a more general solution. Each road detection / verification approach is realized as an independent module representing a unique road model and thus a unique strategy. T...
