The invention discloses a
road surface crack growth detection method based on historical crack data, and the method comprises the steps: carrying out the initial positioning through a GPS, and extracting a plurality of similar images which are close to a current
road surface image through the comparison of the current positioning information and the position information in historical map data; carrying out image-level positioning,carrying out
feature point matching to obtain finely matched image data in a plurality of similar images close to the current
road surface image; carrying out pixel-level positioning, calculating an
H matrix through image feature points matched with ORB,, and mapping historical mark crack pixels to a current crack image through the
H matrix; and analyzing distribution of historical crack pixels mapped in the current crack
image based on the historical cracks of the RGM, representing intensity distribution of the mapped crack pixels by using a
Gaussian model, and finally dividing pixel values meeting conditions into cracks. According to the method, by referring to historical crack data, an effective and reliable strategy for researching the change of the crack state along with time is provided, and crack detection and recognition are greatly simplified and improved.
