With the continuous development of rail transit, the maintenance of the switch machine becomes more and more important, and the contact depth of the moving contact and static contact in the switch machine is a key part of it. At present, the manual measurement method is the main measure of contact depth, which has the problems of low efficiency and strong subjectivity. The measurement of contact depth based on machine vision includes two steps: moving and static contact positioning and distance conversion. The positioning result will have an important impact on distance measurement. Therefore, a positioning method for moving and static contact based on double-layer Mask R-CNN (DLM) is proposed in this paper: first, the moving contact is roughly positioned by Mask R-CNN to obtain the predicted target area; second, the subgraph of the target area is preprocessed; finally, the precise positioning is used to determine the precise position of the moving and static contact. The accuracy and robustness of the proposed DLM are verified by the internal image of the switch machine.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
