Nowadays it is widely accepted that Artificial Intelligence (AI) is significantly influencing a
large number of domains, including railways. In this paper, we present a systematic literature …

In order to ensure the safety of railway transportation, it is necessary to regularly check for
faults and defects in the railway system. Visual inspection technology is conducive to …

Railroad tracks need to be periodically inspected and monitored to ensure safe
transportation. Automated track inspection using computer vision and pattern recognition …

Rail inspection based on visual inspection system (VIS) has drawn much attention recently,
since VIS is automatic, fast, nondestructive, and objective. However, visual rail inspection is …

Defects on rail surfaces, which have become critical problems, need to be detected and
removed as quickly as possible to ensure the fast, safe, and stable operation of trains. At …

As a result of long‐term pressure from train operations and direct exposure to the natural
environment, rails, fasteners, and other components of railway track lines inevitably produce …

In this paper, a real-time railway fastener detection system using a high-speed laser range
finder camera is presented. First, an extensive analysis of various methods based on pixel …

Thousands of miles of railroad track must be inspected twice weekly by a human inspector to
maintain safety standards. A computer vision system, consisting of field-acquired video and …

In this paper, we present a real-time automatic vision-based rail inspection system, which
performs inspections at 16 km/h with a frame rate of 20 fps. The system robustly detects …

Track detection and gauge measurement are considered as crucial aspects of railway
inspection systems. Traditionally, monitoring by human inspectors was done. Nowadays …
