Abstract

The image obtained by using the traditional crack detection method of concrete pavement has some problems, such as low contrast and high noise, which makes it difficult to meet the requirements of modern road engineering management or non-destructive testing. In order to eliminate the interference in crack images, digital image processing technology was used to improve the image quality through computers. This paper took digital image processing as the core and introduced its development and application in pavement cracks. Based on the research progress and achievements of digital image processing on pavement cracks in recent years, the principles and characteristics of digital image processing in removing noise in crack images, augmentation, segmentation, and feature extraction were analyzed. Finally, the existing problems were summarized, and the future development trends and application prospects were discussed. Digital image processing technology can effectively improve the quality of pavement crack images and enhance the important characteristics, which is of great application value in concrete pavement crack image processing.
