Abstrakt: Automatic inspections of overhead contact lines (OCLs) are developed to implement anomaly detection during normal operation. It is an essential prerequisite for efficient maintenance of railway electrification system. This paper presents a comprehensive survey on the inspections of OCLs with an emphasis on computer vision technology, which has developed rapidly due to its ability to understand images. Our survey begins with a brief introduction on anomalies in OCL inspections and generic procedures of computer vision inspection for anomaly detection. Subsequently, for detecting deviations of parameters and defective components during OCL inspections, the existing techniques involving stereo vision and object vision, especially convolution neural networks are described in detail from two aspects: measurement of OCL parameters and identification of OCL conditions. Some interference factors in OCL inspection are analyzed. Actual cases of the inspections are also briefly shown. Challenges and suggestions for further research on OCL inspection are drawn toward the end of the paper. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
