Detailed Implementation
[0026] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1 -Appendix Figure 9 This application will be described in further detail below.
[0027] An automatic method for collecting pavement defects on highways, referring to Figure 1 Specifically, it includes the following steps: S100: Obtain road detection information, which includes first data and second data.
[0028] In one embodiment of this application, reference is made to Figure 2 To obtain road detection information, the specific steps include: S110: Collect road surface video using a camera device and collect the first physical location corresponding to the road surface video using a positioning device.
[0029] In this embodiment, a high-definition CCD camera installed on a road inspection vehicle is used to collect road surface video in real time. Then, a GPS device installed on the road inspection vehicle is used to locate the location of the collected road surface video in real time, which is the first physical location in this embodiment. The first physical location in this embodiment can be displayed in the form of geographic coordinates.
[0030] S120: Process the road surface video to obtain the first road surface image.
[0031] In one embodiment of this application, reference is made to Figure 3 Step S130 specifically includes the following steps: S1201: Extract video stream from road surface video to obtain at least one frame of image video stream.
[0032] In this embodiment, the high-definition CCD camera integrates a video stream interception program, which is then used to intercept the acquired road video to obtain at least one frame image video stream, and each frame image video stream includes at least one frame image feature value.
[0033] In this embodiment, the image feature value is the road surface feature, such as the color and texture of the road surface.
[0034] S1202: Filter at least one frame image video stream according to preset rules to obtain the first road surface image.
[0035] In this embodiment, the high-definition CCD camera integrates an image filtering program. Based on at least one frame image feature value, the image filtering program filters at least one frame image video stream to obtain a first road surface image. This makes the obtained first road surface image more complete and higher definition. The obtained first road surface image is then sent to the back-end terminal in real time for staff to view and analyze.
[0036] In this embodiment, the first data is the first road surface image.
[0037] In one embodiment of this application, reference is made to Figure 4 Obtaining road inspection information may also include the following steps: S130: Obtain the speed of the road inspection vehicle.
[0038] In this embodiment, the current speed of the road inspection vehicle can be obtained by reading the speedometer data on the vehicle's speedometer.
[0039] S140: Determine the driving status of the road inspection vehicle based on its driving speed.
[0040] In this embodiment, since the road inspection vehicle is inspecting the highway, it is not limited by the speed limit on the highway. Therefore, the current driving state of the road inspection vehicle is determined based on the current driving speed. The driving state in this embodiment includes low-speed driving state and high-speed driving state. The low-speed driving state in this embodiment indicates that the driving speed of the road inspection vehicle is in the range of 0-30 km / h, and the high-speed driving state in this embodiment indicates that the driving speed of the road inspection vehicle is in the range of 30-60 km / h.
[0041] S150: If the road inspection vehicle is traveling at high speed, the vibration parameters of the road inspection vehicle during the driving process will be collected in real time.
[0042] In this embodiment, when the road inspection vehicle travels at a speed of 30-60 km / h, the suspension sensors on the road inspection vehicle collect vibration parameters in real time during the driving process, and send the collected vibration parameters to the back-end terminal in real time for staff to view and analyze. Thus, when the road inspection vehicle is traveling at high speed, the road surface defects can be determined by the real-time collected vibration parameters.
[0043] In this embodiment, the vibration curve of the road inspection vehicle during its operation can also be automatically generated based on the vibration parameters sent to the back-end terminal, which makes it easier for staff to determine whether there are road surface defects based on the vibration parameters of the road inspection vehicle.
[0044] For example, when the suspension sensors of a road inspection vehicle detect a change in vibration parameters, it indicates that there may be cracks or potholes on the road surface.
[0045] S160: If the road inspection vehicle is traveling at a low speed, the acceleration parameters of the road inspection vehicle during the driving process will be collected in real time.
[0046] In this embodiment, when the road inspection vehicle travels at a speed of 0-30 km / h, the acceleration sensor on the road inspection vehicle collects the acceleration parameters of the road inspection vehicle in real time during the travel process, and sends the collected acceleration parameters to the back-end terminal in real time for staff to view and analyze. Thus, when the road inspection vehicle travels at a low speed, the road surface can be judged to have defects by collecting the acceleration parameters in real time.
[0047] In this embodiment, the acceleration curve of the road inspection vehicle during its operation can also be automatically generated based on the acceleration parameters sent to the back-end terminal, which makes it easier for staff to determine whether there are road surface defects based on the acceleration parameters of the road inspection vehicle.
[0048] In this embodiment, the second data is the vibration parameters and / or acceleration parameters of the road inspection vehicle.
[0049] For example, when the acceleration parameters collected by the acceleration sensor of the road inspection vehicle change, it indicates that there may be cracks or potholes on the road surface. It should be noted that the acceleration parameters recorded in this embodiment mainly refer to negative acceleration; that is, when there are cracks or potholes on the road surface ahead, the speed of the road inspection vehicle will decrease, thereby generating negative acceleration.
[0050] S200: Determine whether there are any abnormalities in the road based on the first and second data.
[0051] In this embodiment, the presence of any abnormalities in the road can be determined based on the first road surface image, the vibration parameters of the road inspection vehicle, and the acceleration parameters of the road inspection vehicle.
[0052] In one embodiment of this application, reference is made to Figure 5 Step S200 specifically includes the following steps: S210: Determine whether there are any defects in the road surface based on the first road surface image, vibration parameters, and acceleration parameters.
[0053] In one embodiment of this application, reference is made to Figure 6 Determining whether the road surface has defects based on the first road surface image includes the following steps: S2101: Obtain the area in the first road surface image that is inconsistent with the preset road surface color.
[0054] In this embodiment, when cracks, potholes, or other defects appear on the road surface, the color of the cracked and pothole areas will become inconsistent with the color of the road surface; thus, based on the acquired first road surface image, the area in the first road surface image that is inconsistent with the preset road surface color can be identified.
[0055] S2102: Extract labeled features based on inconsistent regions.
[0056] In this embodiment, marking features can be extracted from inconsistent areas. In this embodiment, the marking features are those in the area that are inconsistent with the preset road surface color.
[0057] S2103: Determine whether the marking feature is a disease feature.
[0058] In this embodiment, it is determined whether a feature that is inconsistent with the preset road surface color is a defect feature. If the feature is a defect feature, it is marked with a first special mark. Otherwise, if the feature is not a defect feature, it is marked with a second special mark. Based on the first and second special marks, the feature can be viewed and analyzed by the staff.
[0059] In this embodiment, the first special mark and the second special mark can be marked with different colors. For example, the first special mark can be marked with yellow and the second special mark can be marked with green.
[0060] In one embodiment of this application, reference is made to Figure 7 Determining whether a road surface exhibits signs of distress based on vibration and / or acceleration parameters involves the following steps: S2104: When the vibration parameters change, record the second physical position of the road corresponding to the change in vibration parameters, and acquire the second road surface image based on the second physical position.
[0061] In this embodiment, when the vibration parameters of the road inspection vehicle change, it indicates that there may be defects on the road that the road inspection vehicle is traveling on. When the vibration parameters of the road inspection vehicle change during the driving process, the road inspection vehicle automatically records the second physical location of the road corresponding to the change in vibration parameters. Then, a second road surface image of the road can be acquired based on the second physical location. Thus, the presence of defects on the road can be further analyzed based on the second road surface image. If defects are indeed present on the road, the geographical location of the defects can be found through the second physical location, which facilitates the maintenance of road defects by the staff.
[0062] S2105: When the acceleration parameters change, record the third physical position of the road corresponding to the change in acceleration parameters, and acquire the third road surface image based on the third physical position.
[0063] In this embodiment, when the acceleration parameters of the road inspection vehicle change, specifically when the road inspection vehicle experiences negative acceleration, it indicates that there may be defects on the road that the road inspection vehicle is traveling on. Therefore, when the acceleration parameters of the road inspection vehicle change during its journey, the road inspection vehicle automatically records the third physical location of the road corresponding to the change in acceleration parameters. Then, it can collect a third road surface image based on the third physical location. Thus, it can further analyze whether there are defects on the road based on the third road surface image. If there are indeed defects on the road, the geographical location of the defects can be found through the third physical location, which facilitates the maintenance of the road by the staff.
[0064] S2106: Determine whether there are road defects based on the second and / or third road surface images.
[0065] In this embodiment, the presence of road defects can be further determined and analyzed based on the second road surface image and / or the third road surface image; and when defects are indeed present on the road, the defects can be located using the second physical location and / or the third physical location, thereby facilitating maintenance by staff.
[0066] S220: If the road surface shows signs of damage, the road is considered to be in an abnormal condition. S230: If the road does not show any signs of damage, then the road is considered to be in normal condition.
[0067] In this embodiment, through judgment and analysis, when the road surface has defects, it can be proven that the road is in an abnormal condition; conversely, when the road surface does not have defects, it can be proven that the road is not in an abnormal condition.
[0068] S300: If there are abnormal conditions on the road, record the abnormal conditions and issue an alarm based on the abnormal conditions.
[0069] In this embodiment, when there is an abnormality in the road, the abnormality can be recorded, and then an alarm can be issued based on the abnormality to remind staff to maintain the road defects as soon as possible.
[0070] In this embodiment, the alarm method can be either SMS notification or voice notification. Specifically, when using SMS notification, the abnormal situation can be sent to the staff's mobile terminal in real time via SMS; when using voice notification, the abnormal situation can be sent to the staff's mobile terminal in real time via voice, thereby facilitating the staff to maintain road defects as quickly as possible.
[0071] Among them, reference Figure 8 This is a road cross-section diagram for the specific implementation of this application.
[0072] Once it is determined whether there are any defects on the road surface, the damage status of these defects can be statistically summarized and a summary table can be generated.
[0073] The implementation principle of this application embodiment is as follows: road detection information is collected in real time by a road detection vehicle, and then the road detection information is analyzed to determine whether there are any abnormalities on the road. When there are abnormalities, the abnormalities can be recorded and alarms can be issued based on the abnormalities. Thus, on the one hand, the road conditions can be monitored in real time, and on the other hand, when there are abnormalities on the road, the abnormalities can be recorded and alarms can be issued based on the abnormalities, thereby improving the efficiency of road detection.
[0074] This application discloses an automatic data acquisition system for highway pavement defects, referring to... Figure 9 It includes an acquisition module 1, a judgment module 2, and an execution module 3.
