  1. ASSESSING PAVED ROAD SURFACE CONDITION WITH HIGH-RESOLUTION SATELLITE IMAGERY William J. Emery (University of Colorado) Ashwin Yerasi (University of Colorado) Nathan Longbotham (DigitalGlobe) Fabio Pacifici (DigitalGlobe) IGARSS 2014

  2. Outline • Background • Road Quality Assessment • Road Asphalt Identification • Final Remarks IGARSS 2014

  3. Background IGARSS 2014

  4. Motivation • In situ surveillance of paved road surfaces • Primarily performed manually • Slow and tedious • Limited coverage • Remote sensing of paved road surfaces • Primarily performed automatically • Comparatively efficient • Large area coverage • Latter technique can be used as a precursor or compliment to the former IGARSS 2014

  5. In Situ Data • Standard road surface parameters of interest • Roughness (IRI) • Rutting • Cracking (fatigue, etc.) • Interpretation of measurements varies by planning organization • In general, road condition is rated holistically • Good, fair, poor • High, moderate, low drivability • Etc. Road Quality Surveillance Van (Pathway Services Inc.) IGARSS 2014

  6. Remotely Sensed Data • Provided by DigitalGlobe • Collected by WorldView-2 spacecraft • Panchromatic imagery • 1 band (450-800 nm) • Spatial resolution ~0.5 m • 11-bit digital numbers • Multispectral imagery • 8 bands (400-1040 nm) • Spatial resolution ~2 m • 11-bit digital numbers WorldView-2 (DigitalGlobe) IGARSS 2014

  7. Road Quality Assessment IGARSS 2014

  8. Asphalt Degradation • Lighter and less uniform appearance correlated with degradation • Road quality thus potentially assessable through texture analysis of imagery Asphalt Spectra (M. Herold) Good Road (Boulder County) Fair Road (Boulder County) Poor Road (Boulder County) IGARSS 2014

  19. Road Asphalt Identification IGARSS 2014

  20. Road Asphalt Identification Overview OpenStreetMapShapefiles Multispectral Imagery Pansharpened Imagery (8 Bands) Road Asphalt ROIs Panchromatic Imagery Texture Filtered Imagery (3 Features) IGARSS 2014

  21. Road Identification Masked Scene Original Scene with OSM Shapefile Original Scene Must disregard non-road features in scenery Use OpenStreetMapshapefiles as mask IGARSS 2014

  22. Asphalt Identification • Must distinguish asphalt from non-asphalt features in roads • Vehicles, paint, shadows, etc. • 11 total dimensions contained in image pixels • 8 spectral, 3 texture • Training set manually selected • Asphalt vs. non-asphalt • Random forest classification • Cohen’s kappa coefficient of ~0.91 obtained from experimental trials Asphalt Vehicle Paint Shadow IGARSS 2014

  23. Final Remarks IGARSS 2014

  24. Conclusions • Road asphalt can be identified from high-resolution satellite imagery • For the data analyzed, road asphalt becomes lighter in panchromatic grayscale shade as it degrades • Digital number increases • For the data analyzed, road asphalt becomes less uniform in texture as it degrades • Data range increases • Variance increases • Entropy increases • These apparent qualities can potentially be used to assess road pavement condition via satellite remote sensing IGARSS 2014
