Can you point out pothole in the image? Use paint or any

Thanks for responding @KALYAN ACHARJYA.. The highlighted one is the pothole image and remaining are the cracks on the road.

BW=bwareafilt(bw_im,1);
result=bw_im-BW;
imshow(result);
If you are more interested to control the small area objects use this function

@KALYAN ACHARJYA... i have used the below code by using bwareopen and my output seems to be the attached image but i wanted to remove the highlighted ones because those are cracks on the road. The below color image is the original pothole image.
thankyou...

Apply imclose on the resultant binary image with proper structuring element objects

You need to define what you want. For example, do you want just the largest blob with bwareafilt(bw, 1)? Or blobs larger than a certain area with bwareaopen(bw, someArea)? Do you want to fill holes with imfill(bw, 'holes')? Also you should make sure your initial segmentation gives the pothole(s) as white, not black, since binary operations are done on true/white/1 valued pixels, not false/black/0 valued objects.
