Road Surface Detection

Dr. Christoph Mertz, Robotics

Light sensor on vehicles that regularly traverse the road network .

Data gives an assessment of the current state of the road surface

(A) Image of the damaged road. (B) One road cross-section (C) Several cross sections combined to form a 3D map of the road. (D) Map with medium (yellow) and severe (red) road distress.
