Road pavement structure analysis provides important information for road maintenance and renovation planning. Image processing methods applying to cross-section of the asphalt pavement can provide valuable information about the pavement structure and its quality. The paper presents a method to analyze a picture of a cross-section sample, taking into account aggregates size. The features that have been captured and quantified using 2-D images were limited to aggregates size. The elaborated algorithm and its implementation are presented. The tool is prepared as a part of a bigger system dedicated to road pavement analysis.
