摘要：Potholes though seem inconsequential, may cause accidents resulting in loss of human life. In thispaper, we present an automated system to efficiently manage the potholes in a ward by deployinggeotagging and image processing techniques that overcomes the drawbacks associated with the existingsurvey-oriented systems. Image processing is used for identification of target pothole regions in the 2Dimages using edge detection and morphological image processing operations. A method is developed toaccurately estimate the dimensions of the potholes from their images, analyze their area and depth,estimate the quantity of filling material required and therefore enabling pothole attendance on a prioritybasis. This will further enable the government official to have a fully automated system for e f f e c t i v e l ym a n a g i ng pothole related disasters.
