It is very important for the safe running of the train and is an important guarantee for the safe operation of the train. During the long-term operation of the subway line, the subway third rail and return rail are prone to poor contact with the conductive surface, loose screws and falling off. At present, the subway operation and maintenance department uses track rulers and manual inspections to detect the geometric parameters of the contact rails and the defects of the contact rails. The efficiency is very low and the measurement accuracy is unstable. An automated detection technology and system are needed to improve the efficiency of contact rail detection. Summary of the invention

[0003] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a rapid detection method and system for subway contact rails, so as to solve the problems existing in the background technology.

[0004] In order to achieve the above technical objectives, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is as follows:

[0005] A rapid detection method for a subway contact rail, the detection method comprising the following steps:

[0006] Step 1: Use the contact rail automatic detection device equipped with a 3D camera to continuously and dynamically scan the subway contact rail, extract each frame of data from the 3D camera, and combine it with the Z-axis mileage sensor data of the contact rail automatic detection device to form a three-dimensional point cloud of the contact rail;

[0007] Step 2: Filter the point clouds of the lower contact third rail, upper contact third rail, and return rail to remove invalid interference data, and then perform feature multi-data collaborative training to construct unified point cloud features of the contact rail insulation bracket, expansion joint, and end elbow;

[0008] Step 3: When the contact rail automatic detection device is moving for measurement, the point cloud features of the contact rail's insulating bracket, expansion joint and end elbow are used to judge the contact rail surface, insulating bracket, expansion joint and end elbow in real time, calculate the lead height and pull-out measurement values ​​of these components, and further trigger the high-definition industrial camera to take pictures, merge the pictures and mark the corresponding pole number, kilometer mark position, lead height, and pull-out measurement values.

[0009] Step 1: Use the contact rail automatic detection device equipped with a 3D camera to continuously and dynamically scan the subway contact rail, extract each frame of data from the 3D camera, and combine it with the Z-axis mileage sensor data of the contact rail automatic detection device to form a three-dimensional point cloud of the contact rail:
