  • Visual object detection system
    Patent number: 10713503
    Abstract: A system includes a camera configured to generate two-dimensional (2D) image or video data of an area of a route ahead of a vehicle moving along the route, wherein wayside equipment is disposed alongside the route in the 2D image or video data. The system also includes one or more processors configured to determine a distance between reference markings in the route along a direction that is transverse to a direction of travel of the vehicle along the route. The one or more processors also are configured to determine a separation distance between the camera and the wayside equipment based on the distance between the reference markings in the route.

  • LOCOMOTIVE IMAGING SYSTEM AND METHOD
    Publication number: 20190180118
    Abstract: An imaging system includes a digital camera configured to be disposed in a locomotive system that includes a locomotive coupled to a rail vehicle. The camera generates image data within a field of view that includes a cab of the locomotive system and a portion of a route being traveled on and/or wayside devices disposed along the route. The cab includes a space where an operator of the vehicle is located. The system also can include one or more analysis processors that examine the image data generated by the camera to identify route damage, a deteriorating condition of the route, and/or a condition of the wayside devices. The condition of the wayside devices can include damage to the wayside devices, a missing wayside device, deterioration of the wayside devices, or a change in terrain.
