Line-scan camera control pavement detection system research

Abstract

The paper designs the pavement detecting system, which is based on GPS and the serial port communication technology of the SCM (single-chip microcomputer) used to control the line-scan camera. The paper focuses on GPS and the serial port communication as well as the control programs of single-chip microcomputer .By comparing and analyzing large amounts of experiments' data and the serial images which are obtained in the high-speed vehicle moving by using this system, it shows that this system design satisfies the requirement of external trigger control in real-time line-scan camera for the pavement detection system. The result shows that the images obtained in high speed are much clearer. © 2009 Springer Berlin Heidelberg.
