Abstract: A system for inspecting railroad ties in a railroad track includes a light generator, an optical receiver and a processor. The light generator is oriented to project a beam of light across the railroad track while moving along the railroad track in a travel direction. The optical receiver is oriented to receive at least a portion of the beam of light reflected from the railroad track and configured to generate image data representative of a profile of at least a portion of the railroad track. The processor is configured to analyze the image data by applying one or more algorithms configured to find boundaries of a railroad tie and determine one or more condition metrics associated with the railroad tie.

Abstract: A method for locating railroad components along a railroad track including obtaining a guidance plan and obtaining inspection data. The guidance plan includes an identity of each of a plurality of assets, the identity including previous features of the assets. The assets may be railroad components. The inspection data includes current features of a plurality of railroad components along the railroad track. The method includes using one or more processors, comparing and correlating the current features of the plurality of railroad components with the previous features of the assets to determine which of the plurality of railroad components corresponds with the plurality of assets.

Abstract translation: 用于检查铁路轨道中的铁路系统的系统包括光发生器,光接收器和处理器。 光发生器被定向成将光束投射穿过铁路轨道,同时沿着行进方向沿着铁轨移动。 光接收器被定向为接收从铁路轨道反射的光束的至少一部分,并且被配置为生成表示铁路轨道的至少一部分的轮廓的图像数据。 处理器被配置为通过应用配置成找到铁路连接的边界的一个或多个算法来分析图像数据,并且确定与铁路连接相关联的一个或多个条件度量。
