Pavement distress, the various defects such as holes and cracks, represent a significant engineering and economic concern. This paper based on Beamlet algorithm using MATLAB software to process the pavement crack images and classify the different cracks into four types: horizontal, vertical, alligator, and block types. Experiment results show that the proposed method can effectively detect and classify of the pavement cracks with a high success rate, in which transverse crack and longitudinal crack detection rate reach to 100%, and alligator crack and block crack reach more than 85%.
