Abstract

The detection of ballastless track surface (BTS) defects is a prerequisite for ensuring the safe operation of high-speed railways. Traditional convolutional neural networks fail to fully exploit contextual information and lack global pixel representations. The extensive stacking of convolutions leads deep learning models to play a black-box detection role, lacking interpretability. Due to the current lack of sufficient high-quality surface data for ballastless tracks, it is a severe constraint on the accurate identification of the substructure state in high-speed railways. This paper proposes an intelligent detection method for BTS defects named TrackNet based on self-attention and transfer learning. The method enhances the fusion ability of global features of BTS defects using multihead self-attention. The model’s dependence on extensive defect data is reduced by transferring knowledge from large-scale publicly available datasets. Experimental results demonstrate that compared to advanced Swin Transformer model results, the TrackNet model achieves improvements in average accuracy and F1-score by 5.15% and 5.16%, respectively, on limited test data. The TrackNet model visualizes the decision regions of the model in identifying BTS defects, revealing the black-box recognition mechanism of deep learning models. This research performs engineering applications and provides valuable insights for the multiclass recognition of BTS defects in high-speed railways.

基于自我关注和迁移学习的高速铁路无砟轨道表面缺陷智能检测
检测无砟轨道表面(BTS)缺陷是确保高速铁路安全运行的先决条件。传统的卷积神经网络无法充分利用上下文信息,也缺乏全局像素表征。卷积的大量堆叠导致深度学习模型扮演着黑箱检测的角色,缺乏可解释性。由于目前缺乏足够的高质量无砟轨道表面数据,严重制约了高速铁路下部结构状态的准确识别。本文提出了一种基于自我注意和迁移学习的基站缺陷智能检测方法,命名为 TrackNet。该方法利用多头自注意增强了基站缺陷全局特征的融合能力。通过转移大规模公开数据集的知识,该模型降低了对大量缺陷数据的依赖。实验结果表明,与先进的 Swin Transformer 模型结果相比,在有限的测试数据上,TrackNet 模型的平均准确率和 F1 分数分别提高了 5.15% 和 5.16%。TrackNet 模型将模型识别基站缺陷的决策区域可视化,揭示了深度学习模型的黑箱识别机制。该研究具有工程应用价值,为高速铁路基站缺陷的多类识别提供了宝贵的启示。
