Automation of Optimized Gabor Filter Parameter Selection for Road Cracks Detection
Journal Title: International Journal of Advanced Computer Science & Applications - Year 2016, Vol 7, Issue 3
Abstract
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 discussed. Gabor filter has been used in previous literature for similar applications. However, there is a need for automatic selection of optimized Gabor filter parameters due to variation in texture of roads and cracks. The problem of change of background, which in fact is road texture, is addressed through a learning process by using synthetic road crack generation for Gabor filter parameter tuning. Tuned parameters are then tested on real cracks and a thorough quantitative analysis is performed for performance evaluation.
