Laser road imaging system (LRIS)

 

Client
Pavemetrics Systems Inc.

 
 

Background

We developed a laser imaging system to increase the contrast and visibility of small longitudinal and lateral road cracks. The LRIS system can operate day and night and is unaffected by variations in outside lighting conditions and shadows cast by roadside objects, viaducts, and the inspection vehicle itself.

Solution

The laser road imaging system is composed of two high-resolution linescan cameras and two laser lighting that are configured to fully image transverse road sections up to 4 m wide with 0,5 mm (8K model) or 1 mm (4K model) resolution at speeds of over 100 km/h. Analysis of the compiled data makes it possible to take action to prevent the deterioration of certain roads.

 

Plus…

The laser-camera configuration increases the visibility of even the smallest cracks by using the incident illumination angle of the laser to cause the cracks to project shadows, which greatly increases the image contrast. This system is very compact, easy to use, and requires very little power. It is currently used by dozens of departments of transportation all over the world.
