Abstract In the railway system, fasteners have the functions of damping, maintaining the track distance, and adjusting the track level. Therefore, routine maintenance and inspection of fasteners are important to ensure the safe operation of track lines. Currently, assessment methods for fastener tightness include manual observation, acoustic wave detection, and image detection. There are limitations such as low accuracy and efficiency, easy interference and misjudgment, and a lack of accurate, stable, and fast detection methods. Aiming at the small deformation characteristics and large elastic change of fasteners from full loosening to full tightening, this study proposes high-precision surface-structured light technology for fastener detection and fastener deformation feature extraction based on the center-line projection distance and a fastener tightness regression method based on neural networks. First, the method uses a 3D camera to obtain a fastener point cloud and then segments the elastic rod area based on the iterative closest point algorithm registration. Principal component analysis is used to calculate the normal vector of the segmented elastic rod surface and extract the point on the centerline of the elastic rod. The point is projected onto the upper surface of the bolt to calculate the projection distance. Subsequently, the mapping relationship between the projection distance sequence and fastener tightness is established, and the influence of each parameter on the fastener tightness prediction is analyzed. Finally, by setting up a fastener detection scene in the track experimental base, collecting data, and completing the algorithm verification, the results showed that the deviation between the fastener tightness regression value obtained after the algorithm processing and the actual measured value RMSE was 0.2196 mm, which significantly improved the effect compared with other tightness detection methods, and realized an effective fastener tightness regression. |
