AUTOMATED RAILWAY TRACK CRACK DETECTION SYSTEM USING RASPBERRY PI AND IMAGE PROCESSING
Objective
The objective of this project is to develop an automated system using Raspberry Pi and image processing techniques to detect and alert for cracks in railway tracks, enhancing inspection efficiency and safety.
Abstract
This project presents a system for railway track detection utilizing a Raspberry Pi in conjunction with a USB webcam and DC motors to build a robotic surveillance platform. The system leverages advanced image processing techniques, including Canny edge detection, dilation, and histogram analysis in grayscale, to continuously monitor and assess the condition of railway tracks. The Raspberry Pi processes the live video feed from the USB webcam to detect any potential cracks or defects in the track. When no cracks are detected, the robot proceeds forward along the track. Conversely, if a crack is identified, the robot halts to prevent further damage and facilitate timely maintenance. This automated approach enhances track inspection efficiency and contributes to improved railway safety.
