The daily detection of highspeed electric multiple units (EMU) body is very important for China railway maintenance system. This paper proposes a new method based on machine vision to detect bolts and switches on EMU side skirt, which aims to replace manpower. Yolov3 network is used to identify and locate bolts and switches. After positioning, the status of bolts is detected through Alexnet network. Experiments show that the processing method can achieve the detection work efficiently and accurately. It is suitable for many cases such as insufficient illumination and non-vertical shooting of image samples, which has high robustness.
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.
