A novel pothole detection algorithm based on road disparity map estimation and segmentation is proposed in this article, featuring the incorporation of stereo rig roll angle into shifting distance calculation and the utilization of semiglobal matching for efficient estimation of road disparities. The algorithm further transforms the disparity map to better distinguish damaged road areas and utilizes linear iterative clustering to group transformed disparities for pothole detection, achieving state-of-the-art accuracy and efficiency in experimental results.
Potholes are one of the most common forms of road damage, which can severely affect driving comfort, road safety, and vehicle condition. Pothole detection is typically performed by either structural engineers or certified inspectors. However, this task is not only hazardous for the personnel but also extremely time consuming. This article presents an efficient pothole detection algorithm based on road disparity map estimation and segmentation. We first incorporate the stereo rig roll angle into shifting distance calculation to generalize perspective transformation. The road disparities are then efficiently estimated using semiglobal matching. A disparity map transformation algorithm is then performed to better distinguish the damaged road areas. Subsequently, we utilize simple linear iterative clustering to group the transformed disparities into a collection of superpixels. The potholes are finally detected by finding the superpixels, whose intensities are lower than an adaptively determined threshold. The proposed algorithm is implemented on an NVIDIA RTX 2080 Ti GPU in CUDA. The experimental results demonstrate that our proposed road pothole detection algorithm achieves state-of-the-art accuracy and efficiency.
