Abstract

Driving a vehicle on the roads, it is required to consider many parameters of roads which include distress like potholes, crack, patches size of road. Road conditions influence the comfort and safety of people who are sitting in the vehicle. Detection of pothole helps for early warning to the driver and assessment to the road maintenance authority. The position and structure of pothole can be shared with road maintenance authority. In this paper, an embedded system is designed to detect pothole from images of the road and sends the GPS location to road maintenance authority crew server and upload it in Google map. This system designed on small single-board computer Raspberry Pi in which it uses the computer vision library for processing the input video which is taken from a camera and identifications of road pothole present.
