Computer vision-based tracking and fault detection methods are increasingly growing method for use on railway systems. These methods make detection of components of the railways and fault detection and condition monitoring process can be performed using data obtained by means of computers. In this study, methods are proposed for fault detection on railway components and condition monitoring. With cameras placed on the bottom and the top of the experimental vehicle the images are taken. The camera at the top, overhead rails are positioned to see a way for war and the camera is fixed to the bottom mounted to see clearly railway components. Images from cameras placed on the bottom, Canny edge extraction and Hough transform methods are applied. The types of the components and faults are determined by using classification algorithm with decision trees using the obtained data. The condition monitoring has done by the camera is positioned on the upper part of the vehicle. By processing the taken images with processing methods, inclination angle of the rails and direction of railways are detected. Thus, during the course of the vehicle is obtained information of the direction of railway. Real images are used in the operation of railways belonging to the experimental environment. On these images, to identify the components of the proposed method using the railways and rail direction determination is made. The results obtained are given at the end of the study. The experimental results are analyzed, it is observed that the proposed method accurate and effective results.
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.
