An Efficient Algorithm for Detecting and Measure the Properties of Pothole

In road transportation, computational measurement is widely used. To ensure safe driving, pothole detection is one of the challenging tasks. Very few tools or applications have been proposed to identify any cracks or pothole while driving a car. This paper focused on an efficient methodology for pothole detection. Input images captured by camera (placed on the top of car), which captures the side view or front view of the road, then by converting the same image into its bird’s-eye view to see the image from top. After image preprocessing, region of interest has been computed and then blob detection is applied to detect the actual pothole if exists on the road.
