“…Several image processing techniques that characterize volumetric relationship and aggregate properties in asphalt mixtures can be found in the literature for studying the internal structures of asphalt mixtures, and those studies present how to develop and improve the image processing technique for their own purposes. Some of the previous studies used commercial programs such as iPas, Image Pro Plus, and ImageJ [4,8,9,13,15,19,22,38,41], while some developed the image processing using MATLAB or Visual C++ software to compensate the error for their own purposes in analysis [6,16,20,35,40,42,44,45]. Developing image processing performs two main steps: image processing and analysis.…”
