Abstract
Joint gap measurement is an important inspection to prevent buckling of railways. However, this measurement is labor intensive and time consuming because the tracks are too long for manual inspections. Therefore, we have developed a rail joint gap measurement method using train frontal images recorded by a handy video camcorder. In this paper, we describe details pertaining to the proposed method and discuss the measurement results obtained based on an experiment involving a commercial train.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
