主 题:Railway wagon identification Transformer Sequence-to-sequence model Automated identification systems Object detection
摘 要:Identifying wagons in the railway industry from image data is essential in streamlining the process of wagon inspection and fleet monitoring. However, this is a laborious and time-consuming task, hence automating this process is pivotal in accelerating the identification process and removing human bias. This challenge is addressed in this work, and a multi-stage approach for identifying wagons by detecting and assembling their unique International Union of Railways (UIC) numbers from image data is introduced. Employing a Transformer architecture, the methodology surpasses other methods in accuracy obtained over real-world images and offers fast operation. The model s effectiveness is demonstrated through extensive experiments performed on a unique dataset of more than 3,000 images captured in various weather conditions. The top-performing machine learning model exhibits exceptional speed and real-time performance, processing an average of 100 UIC-containing frames in less than 0.1 son an NVIDIA A10G Tensor Core Graphics Processing Unit, and offering the accuracy of assembling UIC numbers exceeding 95% in scenarios where 1 to 4 digits are missing. The findings presented in this article not only open avenues to apply sequence-to-sequence models to various industrial object detection tasks, but can also significantly improve railway operations.
