Abstract: Traffic safety is directly affected by poor road conditions. Automating the detection of road defects allows improvements in the maintenance process. The identification of defects such as cracks and potholes can be done using computer vision techniques and supervised learning. In this paper, we propose the detection of cracks and potholes in images of paved roads using machine learning techniques. The images are subdivided into blocks, where Gray-Level Co-Occurrence Matrix (GLCM), Local Binary Pattern (LBP), and Gabor Filter’s texture descriptors are used to extract features of the images. For the classification task, the Support Vector Machines (SVM), k-Nearest Neighbors (kNN), and Multi-Layer Perceptron (MLP) models are compared. We performed two experiments on a dataset built with images of Brazilian highways. In the first experiment, we obtained a F-measure of 75.16% when classifying blocks of images that have cracks and potholes, and 79.56% when comparing roads with defects and without defects. In the second experiment, a F-measure of 87.06% was obtained for the equivalent task. Thus, it is possible to state that the use of the techniques presented is feasible for locating faults in highways.
