description Assessing the condition of roads is crucial to the maintenance and rehabilitation process as a country's progress is closely linked to its transport infrastructure. Therefore, it is essential to have well-maintained roads and to be able to control and monitor them properly. Technological advancements have transformed the way pavement inspections are carried out. This study presents an innovative approach that combines stereo cameras and a GPS module for efficient and accurate data collection. This integration of low-cost technologies provides a detailed three-dimensional view of pavements, complemented by accurate geospatial information. The experimental results showed that the 3D images of pavement damage had a relative volume measurement error of 0.80 %. Unlike traditional systems such as LIDAR and ground-penetrating radar, which involve more expensive technologies, the proposed method offers a cost-effective solution. This methodology not only simplifies the inspection process but also improves the planning and execution of road maintenance and repair activities. Its low cost makes it a viable option for various projects and applications in road infrastructure.
