Abstract
A road surface inspection device detects an abnormal region on a road surface from the road surface on a road image captured by a camera. The road surface inspection device determines whether the detected abnormal region overlaps a trace on the road image, along which the wheels of a patrol car are expected to pass on the road surface. When the abnormal region overlaps the trace of wheels, the road surface inspection device determines whether an acceleration at the measurement time corresponding to the captured time of the road image among the accelerations measured during driving on the road surface by a G-sensor is outside a predetermined range.
