Description
Summary:The abnormal structural state of the pantograph skateboard is a significant and highly concerning issue that has a significant impact on the safety of high-speed railway operation. In order to obtain real-time information on the abnormal state of the skateboard in advance, an intelligent defect identification model suitable to be used as a monitoring device for the pantograph skateboard was designed using a computer vision-based intelligent detection technology for pantograph skateboard defects, combined with an improved YOLO v8 model and traditional image processing algorithms such as edge extraction. The results show that the anomaly detection algorithm for the pantograph sliding plate structure has good robustness, maintaining recognition accuracy of 90% or above in complex scenes, and the average runtime is 12.32 ms. Railway field experiments have proven that the intelligent recognition model meets the actual detection requirements of railway sites and has strong practical application value.
