An example embodiment of the present invention provides a method of assessing the condition of a pavement site, comprising: (a) acquiring aerial images of the site from above, for example by an unmanned aerial system (UAS); (b) using photogrammetry tools to generate an orthomosaic that represents the airport pavement surface; (c) using image analysis tools and machine learning methods to determine the location and extent of defects in the pavement; (c) producing an image representation of the site and the defects, where the location and extent of defects are discernible from the image; (d) using software application techniques to store and present defect data and other related information for client-side user access.
