An efficient and reliable coarse-to-fine approach for asphalt pavement crack detection

作者:

Highlights:

• A coarse-to-fine asphalt pavement crack detection approach is developed.

• A new description of the cracks is proposed based on the spatially clustered pixels.

• An improved adaptive thresholding method is presented for image segmentation.

• A new concept Region of Belief (ROB) is introduced to facilitate the detection.

• A novel region growing algorithm is propounded for the crack detection.
