Road defect is one of the most important factors for traffic accident.
Therefore, these defects should be corrected as soon as possible. It usually occurs
cracks, rutting, and potholes in road surface. These errors are based on the
fact that people have recognized and fixed these errors in our day. But if
these errors are not corrected in a short time, the size of the error grows day
by day. There are various methods used to detect road errors in the literature.
One of these methods is the use of computer vision. There are various types of
roads in real life. Since the studies in the literature have been carried out
only by taking into account one type of road, the accuracy rates decrease when
these studies are used in different types of roads. In the study carried out,
different roads have been made adaptive by the operations performed in the
detection of road errors from the received images. Images taken from the camera
on a vehicle are used for the study. The study applied is ensured to have high
accuracy rates in different types of roads via customization. In the second
stage, the image blurred by using median filter and the unprocessed images are
collected, and the darkest parts of the image are brought into the forefront.
The image is converted into a binary image and improved by mathematical
morphological operations. As a result of the operations performed, which of the
five classes including un-cracked roads, superficial crack, crocodile crack,
linear crack and transverse crack the roads belong to is determined. In the
study carried out, the fact that it is fast and that its accuracy rates are
good indicate that it can be used in real life.
