Thats a unique idea.You should consider the following idea to enhance your idea so that it would impact uniquely: The durability of a road is among other factors dependent on the affinity beten stones in the top layer and bitumen that holds the stones together. Poor adherence will cause stones to detach from the surface of the road more easily. The rolling bottle method is the standard way to determine the affinity beten stones and bitumen. In this test a number of stones covered in bitumen are put in a rolling bottle filled with water. After rolling a number of hours the bitumen coverage are estimated by visually investigating the stones.  describes a method for automatic estimation of the degree of bitumen coverage using image analysis instead of manual inspection. The proposed method is based on the observation that bitumen reflects light much better than raw stones.   propose a method based on the reflections to estimate the degree of bitumen coverage. The stones are put on a turntable which is illuminated and a camera is placed straight above the stones. Turning the table will illuminate different sides of the stones and cause reflections on different part of the images. The results are compared to manual inspection and are ll in agreement with these. (Less)

I am writing a research paper on a idea Measuring Bitumen Coverage of Stones using a Turntable and Specular Reflections
