Dr. Clyde A. Lettsome has recently had an article published in the Journal of Electronic Imaging. The article titled “Enhanced Adaptive Filter Bank Based Automated Pavement Crack Detection and Segmentation System” details Dr. Lettsome’s research on how to incorporate a novel filter-bank-based distress segmentation method into automated pavement distress systems. This technology could potentially be utilized by numerous transportation authorities to help detect distress in road pavement and store the data.

“In this research, a novel filter-bank-based distress segmentation method, which is used and this method does not depend on highpass data, “says Dr. Lettsome. “By doing this, we were able to improve detection over other wavelet/filter bank based systems.”
