Abstract :
This paper deals with a new approach for crack detection on road surface images using the wavelet transform combined with grey level morphology and segmentation. The pavement analysis context is briefly presented. Two image processing methods have been developed. Results obtained with “laboratory images” and “road images” are presented and discussed.
