However, most statistical texture indicators cannot express this difference. This study adopts 3D image camera equipment to collect texture data from laboratory asphalt mixture specimens and actual pavement. A pre-processing method was carried out, including data standardisation, slope correction, missing value and outlier processing, and envelope processing. Then the texture data were calculated based on texture separation, texture power spectrum, grey level co-occurrence matrix, and fractal theory to acquire six leading texture indicators and eight extended indicators. The Pearson correlation coefficient was used to analyse the correlation of different texture indicators. The distinction vector based on the information entropy is calculated to analyse the distinction of the indicators. High correlations between ENE (energy) and ENT (entropy), ENT and D (Minkowski dimension) were found. The CON (contrast) has low correlations with HT (macro-texture power spectrum area), ENT and D. However, the differentiation of ENE and HT is more prominent, and the differentiation of the CON is smaller. ENE, ENT, CON and D indicators based on macro-texture and the corresponding original texture have strong linear correlations. However, the microtexture indicators are not linearly correlated with the corresponding original texture indicators. D, WT (micro-texture power spectrum area) and ENT exhibit high degrees of numerical concentration for the same road sections and may be more statistically helpful in distinguishing the characteristics of the pavement performance decay of the road sections.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s22134955","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,7,1]],"date-time":"2022-07-01T01:40:36Z","timestamp":1656639636000},"page":"4955","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":21,"title":["Study of Texture Indicators Applied to Pavement Wear Analysis Based on 3D Image Technology"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"22","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0932-1914","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Yutao","family":"Li","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Civil Engineering, Chongqing University, Chongqing 400045, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Yuanhan","family":"Qin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Civil Engineering, Chongqing University, Chongqing 400045, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7803-7493","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Hui","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Civil Engineering, Chongqing University, Chongqing 400045, China"},{"name":"Key Laboratory of New Technology for Construction of Cities in Mountain Area (Chongqing University), Ministry of Education, Chongqing 400045, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Shaodong","family":"Xu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Microelectronics and Communication Engineering, Chongqing University, Chongqing 400045, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Shenglin","family":"Li","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Software Engineering, Chongqing University of Posts and Telecommunications, Chongqing 400065, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,6,30]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"591","DOI":"10.1061\/(ASCE)0733-947X(2002)128:6(591)","article-title":"Consideration of fractals potential in pavement skid resistance evaluation","volume":"128","author":"Kokkalis","year":"2002","journal-title":"J.
