<![CDATA[Manual identification of road damage using simple measuring tools is considered inefficient, subjective, and time-consuming, hindering the infrastructure repair process. This study aims to optimize automatic road crack detection by combining edge detection for feature extraction and Gaussian Naive Bayes (GNB) classification. This research utilizes the Road Surface Classification Dataset (RSCD), consisting of 1000 concrete road images with balanced class proportions. The research process includes image acquisition, segmentation, and preprocessing using the Sobel filter to extract edge features and erosion to refine crack representation. Statistical features in the form of black pixel count and edge length are extracted as model inputs. Experiments were conducted using three data split scenarios (70:30, 80:20, 90:10) validated with the K-Fold Cross Validation method. The test results show that the 90:10 data split scenario yields the most optimal and stable performance, achieving 88% accuracy, 91.67% precision, 84.62% recall, and an F1-Score of 88%. This study optimises the balance between computational efficiency and detection accuracy through a lightweight hybrid approach that integrates edge-based feature extraction with probabilistic classification.]]>
