Automatic Road Pavement Assessment with Image Processing: Review and Comparison

Algorithm 1

The studied algorithm for the method based on adaptive filtering and segmentation by Markovian modelling. The step (1) leads to a binary image using adaptive filtering, while step (2) refines this result with a Markovian modelling.
Input
Road images
Initialization
Number of scales and angles
Steps
(1) For each scale do
(1a) For each direction do
  Estimate Adaptive Filter (AF)
(1b) Merge AF in all the directions
(2) For each scale do
(2a) Initialization of the sites (Markov)
(2b) While not (stop condition) do
  Updating of the sites
(3) Fusion of the results on each scale
