Imaging systems are commonly used for conducting pavement evaluations. The American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials' Standard Practice for Collecting Images of Pavement Surfaces for Distress Detection addresses the collection of images. However, there are no widely accepted methods for measuring the characteristics of pavement surface images such as 2-dimensional optical images and 3-dimensional surface elevation images.
NCHRP Research Report 1106: Measuring the Characteristics of Pavement Surface Images, from TRB's National Cooperative Highway Research Program, presents a state-of-the-art update of methods for measuring and evaluating the characteristics of pavement surface images collected by 3-dimensional pavement imaging systems.
