Determining surface infiltration rate of permeable pavements using digital imaging
Published in Water (MDPI), 2018
This paper presents a computer-vision approach for assessing the infiltration capacity of permeable pavements. Compared with conventional testing methods, the digital imaging method is intended to provide a faster and less intrusive way to evaluate pavement performance during maintenance inspections.
Key Contributions:
- Image-processing algorithm for infiltration measurement
- Field validation across multiple pavement types
- Practical tool for municipal maintenance programs
- Cost-effective alternative to conventional testing
Application: The method was developed with routine pavement condition assessment in mind.
