The inspection robot performs inspections in a rapid inspection posture according to instructions, and quickly collects track information using accelerometer 3 and image acquisition device.

The data collected by the first camera and the second camera can both be represented in the form of equation (2).

[0046] The collected data were analyzed based on cross-correlation. For a set of data sequences Sequence translation can be expressed as: (3) in, for m A data sequence consisting of groups of data, This sequence is obtained by shifting the measurement data from the accelerometer. s The data movement step size, ; a shift to the left of the sequence data is negative. Moving to the right is positive. Calculate the inner product between the shifted data sequences to reflect the correlation between the two sets of data.

[0050] The shape centroids of all data sequences are calculated based on the SBD distance. To avoid the problem that the centroids cannot effectively utilize class features, the centroid calculation is transformed into an optimization problem: finding the minimum sum of the squared distances of all other time series.

The process is as follows: First, the centroid of the sequence data is calculated and each data set is compared to the centroid. Then, each data set is assigned to the cluster closest to the centroid based on distance. The data within each cluster is updated, and the centroid is updated based on the updated cluster. This assignment process is repeated until the data within each cluster no longer changes. This yields a set of processed accelerometer data. ,right The mean, variance, peak value, and kurtosis of the internal data were analyzed to identify potential damage areas, as follows: (10) In the formula: φ This refers to the area where the track may be damaged.

The acquired two-dimensional image data is represented as follows: (16) In the formula: The first data collected during slow-speed inspection by the camera i Group of two-dimensional image data, For slow inspection i The first group of two-dimensional image data m Line number n The pixel data of the column. The images captured by the first camera and the second camera can both be represented in the form of equation (16).

[0065] Feature-level fusion is performed on the data collected by the TMR sensor, 2D digital laser displacement sensor, and cameras (including the first and second cameras), as follows: (17) In the formula: F The data features are obtained by fusing the data from the three types of sensors. f T For the data characteristics of TMR sensors, f J For the data characteristics of a 2D digital laser displacement sensor, f M The data features from the cameras are used for fault identification based on the fused data features, and inspection data and track status are transmitted in real time to enable staff to handle track defects.
