Configuration and Safety Confirmation Method of Image Processing System Applicable to Signalling Systems

Abstract

In recent years, image processing has been applied to the visual inspection of rolling stock and railroad tracks. It is also expected to be used for detecting abnormal situations on level crossings and platforms, however safety assurance is an issue for signal security applications. This paper reports on a method for composing an image processing system using general-purpose processing equipment that can be applied to signalling equipment and a method for confirming safety.
