Because of vehicle traffic and changes in the environment temperature, roads expand/shrink and crack, leading to potholes. Without repair, potholes can expand gradually and may lead to accidents. To prevent such accidents, it is necessary that roads are inspected and diagnosed to detect cracks and potholes early and repair them. If it is possible to make road surface maps that show the location and size of cracks and potholes, road inspection can be performed efficiently. This paper focuses on applying a road inspection method using range image sensors, which are becoming increasingly more affordable. Specifically, it reports the results of the map of a simulated road with various features and the effectiveness of the method.
