Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of three-dimensional point cloud visual measurement, and in particular to a non-contact online visual measurement method and device for rail displacement and inclination. Background Art

[0002] With the rapid development of rail transit and the increasing number of rail lines coming into operation, track inspection and maintenance workloads have increased dramatically, placing significant pressure on maintaining the health of rails. During train operation, wheel pressure on rails causes them to deform and tilt slightly to the side. Online monitoring of rail deformation is beneficial for understanding and maintaining the health of the track and ensuring the safe operation of rail transit. This method projects a line laser onto the surface of the target, captures the projection area with a camera, and performs a three-dimensional reconstruction of the projected target using triangulation principles. This method generates a point cloud of the cross-sectional profile where the laser plane intersects the target, and then calculates the relevant physical parameters. This is a non-contact measurement method with widespread applications in a variety of fields, including 3D imaging, industrial product quality inspection, and rail flaw detection. Existing technologies for detecting subtle rail deformation during train operation mostly rely on contact measurement, which requires numerous components, a complex measurement process, and poses certain safety risks.
