The invention relates to the field of
rail transit, and discloses a railway
ballast detection method and a railway
ballast detection
system.The method comprises the steps that navigation data
in vehicle movement are obtained through an inertial navigation unit, and the navigation data are combined with
GPS positioning data to conduct fusion calculation to obtain POS data; the method comprises the following steps: scanning a
ballast bed, a railway ballast and a sleeper through a
laser radar to obtain original three-dimensional
point cloud data, and fitting POS data with the original three-dimensional
point cloud data to obtain standard
point cloud data; preprocessing the obtained standard point
cloud data to obtain
orbit data, and performing rotation correction on the
orbit data through a data correction module; and calibration is performed based on the
height difference between the sleeper and the track, an included angle between the
laser radar and the ground is obtained, target detection is performed based on the included angle between the
laser radar and the ground, and structured measurement data is generated and output.
