Rail inspection is a very important task in railway maintenance, and it is periodically needed for preventing dangerous situations. Inspection is operated manually by trained human operator walking… (More)
The amylase activity of water extracts from 18 insect species, from 23 marine species and from 17 different species of birds and mammals was determined quantitatively. The inhibition of amylase in… (More)
Over the last few years research has been oriented toward developing a machine vision system for locating and identifying, automatically, defects on rails. Rail defects exhibit different properties… (More)
This paper presents a vision-based technique to automatically detect the absence of the fastening bolts that secure the rails to the sleepers. The images are pre-processed by using several… (More)
The goal of this work is to propose a method to solve the problem of passive navigation with visual means. Passive navigation is the ability of an autonomous agent to determine its motion with… (More)
In this paper a fast and innovative three-dimensional vision system, having high resolution in the surface reconstruction, is discussed. It is based on a triangulation 3D laser scanner with a linear… (More)
Rail inspection is an essential task in railway maintenance and is periodically needed. Inspection is manually operated by trained human operator walking along the track searching for visual… (More)
